Richard, I am sure that you read my previous message to Kevin concerning the 
Bazooka antenna.  I am thinking of giving it a try.  I will get another 
sighted ham to look it over to make sure it is OK first.  I would love to be 
able to talk on the whole eighty meter band.  Is your bazooka a fan dipole 
configuration or is each bazooka covering a separate band?  I might be 
contacting you for some more info after I start this project if you don't 
mind. I have heard that the bazooka is a broadbanded antenna.
