Hi,
I don't think this is an "original idea" as I remember seeing an article many years ago about this.
When you build a 75 meter dipole, you can choose to make the antenna entirely out of coax or
use 300Ω to 450Ω "twin-lead" for the ends. Now, I may be wrong, as I have in the past, but I
think I remember a Double Bazooka that used a wire "cage" of paint stir sticks glued to make an
"X", holes drilled through the ends and wire run through the holes.
I plan on building one soon and will use 2" wide sections of 4" pvc drainage pipe with holes drilled
so that 8 #14, insulated, solid, copper wire can be run inside the pvc "sleeve" and atatched with
UV resistant cable zip ties.
Has anyone done this before? The 75 meter antenna should make a good, all-@round HF listening
antenna.
Respectfully,
