[CQ-Contest] Cheap Alternative

[Jim Rhodes KC0XU]

With a little CAREFUL triming of the inside of the original RS housing an
HC-4 element can be mounted. Not quite a perfect fit when I quit carving,
but it holds it nice and tight when glued back together. Take the little
screw out and carefully pry the halves apart, they clamp around the little
square end of the boom. By fitting the new element into the back housing
you can see where it has to be opened up, a little carving on the lip of
the front housing is also required to let the halves come together. Just go
slow on the carving, if you can see daylight through it you went a little
to far. Good luck!
