GREAT COMPANY Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I have purchased two Double Bazooka antennas from Emmett at Radio Wavz. The person who indicated that they do not work and that service is horrible must be on drugs or does not know anything about antennas or Amateur Radio. Emmett made me up two custom antennas for both 80 and 160 meters for me. Both are hung from the 100 foot guy ring on my 125 foot rotating tower. If you go to QRZ,com and bring up my call their is a link to a picture show which includes a photo of both the Double Bazooka antennas. I had Emmett make these out of RG11 rather than RG59. I live on top of a mountain in New York State. The winters can be brutal here with lots of ice storms and high winds. That is why my rotating tower is guyed. In the past I have tried a number of other Double Bazooka antennas made by other companies and none of hem stood up through the winters. This antenna that Emmett built for me is like a "Sherman Tank" no pun intended and I'm sure will handle all that mother nature can throw at them. Besides being made to handle the weather they perform fantastically. I have never worked so much DX on 160 meters until I started using the Double Bazooka antennas. Woking DX on 80 is like shooting fish in a barrel. All in all for the price that Radio Wavz charges for these Double Bazooka antennas, they just can not be beat. My hats off to Radio Wavz and especially to Emmett for his terrific service.

Fit my need perfectly!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have purchased several of the double bazookas. I needed antennas with a low SWR across the band I was using. I do have an external tuner but with the built in tuners I don't like the extra hassel when the SWR is greater than 3:19 (probably will sell my J.W. MIller ATU). I guess convenience was also a major consideration. I am not very technically inclined so having someone put the antenna together for me really helps. The prices were great. Service has greatly improved since I bought my first antenna and e-mail response is good now too. I plan to put up a log periodic for the higher bands but I do own and will use most of the antennas. It is well made and I expect it to last a long time. I bought this antenna to cover the phone and CW portions of the band. I don't need more that one antenna per band. I hope to be on the honor role one day and will need to get my CW up to par.

Great Service, Great Product Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This antenna has been up over one year without issue. Attending a local hamfest, I grabbed one of KC0JGJ's flyers. My previous "doublet" had recently blown away. After staring at the brochure for a week, I contacted Emmett via telephone. He answered on the first ring. It was Saturday, and a great deal of activity could be heard in the background. Emmett stopped what he was doing, and invited me over. An antenna was in stock. I was outside with a sling-shot in less than an hour. Great Service, Great Product.
