 Trying to take advantage of the gorgeous WX we have here in the EPA. I opted 
to replace my aged Hy-gain 40ther Antennas with a New Chushcraft XM240. It 
arrived and I dove in the boxesto get it ready to install. Well the little 
things that go wrong during manufacturing, like.. Deburring holes and finish 
drilling out one hole was Not a problem. The  boom is done and elements are 
assembled ( Used the K7LXC ) secret dim :)
 
Well now we come to a abrupt halt.  Seems The Boom to U channel element mounts 
(4) are just raw extrusions cut to length.. but NO HOLES arghhhhhhhhh
 
 Yes I can lay them out.. support the boom,, level it with a temp mast drill 
the mounting holes and then cross level and drill the element to boom 
positioning hole. BUT Dang ya pay good $$$$ and where is the QC ?   What you 
get is a Voice mail box !!  no real people ...
 
 
 Sorry for the Vent.......
