Build a Double Bazooka | 100 Watts and a Wire

Steve W7UDI teaches us how to build a ham radio antenna called a coaxial dipole. This antenna is also known as the "double bazooka" antenna.

Glad to see this back up and running again. The hams resource is returning!

I've ran a 75m double bazooka for 20 years, excellent broadband, low noise antenna. Love seeing your build, 73s w7zho

The master at work - thanks for the post and reminding me to get my little 10m DB back up!

A great video up until the end. Hoped you would have concluded with how it's set up and explaining why it's called a bazooka. I'm totally new to building antennas and am looking for much help with design and finishing the project. Thanks for your tutorial! The video and audio were very good. Only one point where your head covered what you were doing.✌

Great build. Miss you guys.

Nice build video! Thanks Steve!

Thanks for the great tutorial Steve. Can you show how you tuned that antenna? I'm assuming you'd use a VNA of some sort. 73 de KD6FTR

Thanks very much for that.

Hello Steve ,
I love this video , very well done.
But I respectfully offer a suggestion.
When I used to do low budget industrial training videos, I would periodically stop the presenter and take some still photos of "the thing/process" being presented by the host and in post-production blend in the close up still photos to enhance the learning experience for the viewer.
No cost , easy, and a way better way to focus on the details of the work.

Got any video's on how to build a Carolina Windom?

Thank you. 🙂 Could you share the link to the document with the lengths? And - as I am not a native English speaker, I did not get what that black material is called that you applied first (I do not know the word, so I do not know how to write it and to what it translates in German). How is it called?

Thanks! 👍

If you can afford it, consider a camera stand to position it above what you're working on. Couldn't see the details of your build very well

Please zoom in a bit and please ditch the music. Very distracting even though your voice is clear.
