M2 Antenna Systems, Inc. 

Model No: 40M3L 

FEATURES: 

 

The 40M3L is a linear loaded 40 meter Yagi designed with 20 years of experience and listening to 

customer’s needs. The result is a powerful package of clean mechanical design, quality materials, and 
outstanding performance that will deliver years of enjoyment on the 40 meter band. 
 

Mechanically the elements are mounted between 

1/2” thick, 

machined aluminum clamp plates!  The 

Driven element is split and insulated with a 1-1/4 inch solid fiberglass rod and fed with a weather sealed 1:1 
balun.  All elements use linear loading of 3/16" 6061-T6 aluminum rod to reduce overall length, wind load, and 
turning radius. The linear loaded sections anchor 10" above the element to reduce inductive cancellation 
(requiring LESS loading), reduce mechanical stress, and minimize element droop (in the air the antenna is 
easily mistaken for a 15 or 20 meter Yagi!). Compare performance, construction and durability.... 

This is not 

just another 40 meter Yagi!!
