Default Is It double bazooka less noisy?

what do you think about?


I would like to see the noise comparisons among a Double
Bazooka, a plain dipole, and a folded dipole. My Arizona
desert precipitation problem certainly decreased when
I went from a G5RV to a full-wave 40m loop.

With the G5RV, one element was grounded through the coax
shield and the other element was capacitor isolated from
ground by a series cap in my transceiver. It arced at the
coax connector and a choke did solve the arcing problem.
