Antenna Strela (in transcription from Russian it means "Arrow") is a modification of the well-known dipole antenna Bazooka that is widely used by hams. Figure 1 shows classical antenna "Bazooka." (Credit Line: http://www.amateur-radio-wiki.net/images/1/18/Bazooka.jpg) Some parameters of the antenna Strela are even better compare to antenna Bazooka. Antenna Strela (similar to the Bazooka) is short- circuited through the stub.

However antenna Strela is contained less stuff for manufacture, antenna Strela is lighter then antenna Bazooka. Antenna Strela has good matching with the coaxial cable and SWR of the antenna on the working Band looks like better then Bazooka could provide there. Figure 2 shows design of the antenna Strela.
