FEATURES 

 

The 40M3FS is a full sized 40 meter Yagi designed for the various interests and band segments. We provide 

you the dimensions to optimize the antenna just for your needs. The result is a powerful package of clean mechani-
cal design, quality materials, and outstanding performance that will deliver years of enjoyment on the 40 meter band.  
Note the pattern and gain of 10 dBd when the antenna is only 50 feet above ground! Gain increases with height 
above ground and can approach 6 dB more than the free space gain of 6 dBd. 
 

The rugged aluminum boom is 3-1/2 O.D. .23” wall in the middle with 3” x .125 wall tips. Elements diameters 

start at 2-1/2” x  .125 wall 6061-T6 are and are mounted to the boom using machined saddles and stainless hard-
ware.  All three elements are supported by a phillystran overhead guy system.  The element sections have been 
computer optimized for at least 100 MPH winds.  An overhead guy system is supplied for the boom as well.  All 
hardware except for the U-Bolts is stainless steel.  A hairpin type match couples the 5 kW 1:1 balun to the feedline.  
The antenna is completely DC grounded.  Compare performance, construction and durability....you’ll agree that this 
40 meter Yagi is tops in its class!
