Congratulations on the purchase of your TW4040 antenna! The TW4040
represents a revolutionary jump in HF antenna performance, convenience, and
reliability. The ruggedly built TW4040 was designed with ease of use in mind.
Therefore, all TW4040 antennas are pre-assembled and tuned at the time of
manufacture. With its compact three-part fold-up design, the TW4040 is ready to
go right out of the box

for permanent or temporary installation using the supplied
quick break-down stand.
The TW4040 is a center fed vertical dipole antenna with a very low radiation
take-off angle (around 27 degrees above horizontal), allowing for very long skips
using low power on 40 meters. The TW4040 is a ground-mounted omni
directional antenna, requiring no ground radials, tower, or rotor.
