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.
