[CQ-Contest] Hustler Mobile Whips

[George]

A small drop of Loctite will hold the set screws in place.  Be sure to 
use blue Loctite so you can loosen the set screws if you really need 
to.  I advise against red Loctite, as you will not break the screws 
loose if you use that.  Available at any good hardware store.
