Love the Bazooka aerials.
So easy to make.
I don't encase mine though, just slip a full length piece of heat shrink over the lot.
Means I can coil it for storage.
I've got plenty of trees round me so hauling one into the air isn't a problem.
I don't even bother SWRing them anymore.
Never had a 5/8 one with a SWR of greater than 2:1 EVER.
