FEATURES:
The recently upgraded, computer optimized, linear loaded, dual driven 40M4LLDD gets the bandwidth and maintains per-
formance across the band like no other 40 meter Yagi. This was a huge challenge requiring the latest techniques in com-
puter optimization. Gain, Front to Back and VSWR are maintained nearly flat across the whole band! In addition, it is now
better mechanically and easier to assemble. Only the tips of each element are different as all the linear loading settings
are the same for each element. The shorting bars are now 2 piece, clamp type making solid long lasting connections. For
foreign amateurs, two tuning options are available; FULL BAND and LOW END ACCENTUATED, but still broadband.
The resulting design is head and shoulders above the competition in strength, durability and performance. This antenna
has been designed to meet your crossband SSB contesting needs and give you years of enjoyment on the 40 meter band
regardless of future band plan changes.
Mechanically, the elements are butt sleeved to withstand continuous winds of 100 mph or the constant battering of high
winds . This antenna WILL frustrate Mother Nature! The Driven elements are split in the center and insulated with a solid
1-1/4" fiberglass rod. The parasitic element also have solid 1-1/4" center aluminum center section. The 3 kW continuous,
5 kW peak, 1:1 balun completes the package. All hardware is stainless or galvanized except the U-bolts. Options include
parts to add 4 elements for 17 or 20 meters. Call for details.

  • Page 2 40M4LLDD ASSEMBLY MANUAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Look over the DIMENSION SHEET, HARDWARE AND ELEMENT ASSEMBLY DRAWINGS to get familiar with the various parts of the antenna. Tools handy for assembly process: screwdriver, 11/32, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 and 5/8” nut drivers, end wrenches and/or sockets, diagonal cutters, and measuring tape.
  • Page 3 40M4LLDD ASSEMBLY MANUAL Locknuts have been provided for all the element assembly screws. Tighten the nuts until the joint doesn't move when wiggled or shook. The element butt section closest to the boom always has one hole located at the butt for a 1/4-20 bolt.
