Work at full power on the intended band Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
THis antenna works greate on the intended band. At full legal power. 1600watts SSB 200 cw/rtty/digital AM.If you go outside of the desighned band or in stall it in a modified way you should not operte it with higher power. We have thousands of these antenna out there working with power.


We try to work with people when there are issues.

misleading, low power only Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bought the 75 meter bouble bazooka and blew it up with 500 watts.

They do not specify the power handling of most of their antennas exept the one for CB that is rated for more than 1000 watts !? (stupid)

Do not expect to use these antennas with an amplifier.

Not worth the money.

BIG problem Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
After reading the review about the power rating I went back and ran mine on a DRAKE amp they are fine up to 200 watts after that they melt down.
I suggest you be aware of what you are buying as EMMETT truly should know that they wont handle full legal limit.

Great Antenna and service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This basic antenna was modified by Emmett to work on CAP and MARS frequencies. It was key in our communications back bone when I was the wing commander. It played a Key role in the Wing's response to 911

Beware of his antennas Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I first purchased a short 40 dipole from this company. It worked good. I later purchased a short 80 meter from this company. It also worked good. But then I decided to get an amp and all heck blew up. After useing my amp for about 10 mins, my meters flew the coup. I shut all down and started to check things out. In the middle of the dipole where the feed line went into it, the smell of something burned was strong. I sent an email to the company about the problem. Two days latter I got an automatic email from them saying they would respond to my email when they got back. I got nothing. I got the automatic email several times. Now my question is how come it takes 3 days for an auto reply to get back to you. BULL... Any how I took the cap apart my self. Inside was where the arcing had occured. All this wire was packed into a space the size of a large pencil. No way to keep trouble from happing here. I then took the other end of the feedline apart and what a suprise there. If the twin lead had twisted just so slightly, there could have been major damage to my rigs. I will get to the point, If you get an antenna from this company and it works, your OK. But don't get a problem with one, the service sucks. They will dodge you every way they can. And what ever you do, do a good inspection you plan on putting any power to these antennas. You could loose more then an antenna. Never will buy again from this company....

Fantastic Antennas Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have 3 IAC Double Bazooka's. I first purchased the 80 meter version and it worked great. After seeing what these antennas can do I purchased the 40 meter and installed it in a sloper configuration and also purchase the new 160 meter shorty. I am very happy with the quality and performance, better than anything I have used over the past 25 years of haming.

Radiowavz 75 METER Double Bazooka Diapole Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I am writing this about the 75 Meter Double Bazooka Antenna. First save your money DO NOT buy this antenna. I bought one, and the claims they make about this antenna is FALSE. I had a 75 meter diapole made out of coated wire and it performed better, not as noisy, much more broadbanded, and cheaper. SECOND. The customer support STINKS. I have emailed them, called them on the phone, and they do not respond. I do not see how they stay in business. I paid $75.00 for this piece of junk. I just tossed $75.00 out the window. BEWARE.......

Super Antenna and Super Support Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Have very limited space to put up an antenna and therefore had a slight problem with SWR. Emmett worked with me on it till we got it pretty flat at 1.5. The legs are just 7 ft off the ground! I am getting great signal reports and the receive is MUCH better. Swapping between my vertical and the Bazooka you can really tell the difference.

A+++40M Antennas Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
After trying just about every other kind on antenna I got lucky and tried the 40 meter version Double Bazooka. I have a booming signal with receive to match.Compare to my multi band local made vertical,always below in the mud. The construction quality is very good. I do not have to use a tuner for the SSB portion of the band. VSWR <-2:1 And center piece it's around 40' from the 0 ground. cosidering the size, I will buy
another one for my Work QTH. And it's Cheap too.
