Insert the large screw through the hole in the bottom of the boom (Figure 11). Place the element extension with crimped ends onto the screw. Then, install the clip onto the element extension with crimped ends so that the holes in both parts align. Thread a small flange nut on the screw, and tighten.

Element Extension with Crimped Ends
Place each element extension beside the element to which it will connect. The shortest element extension will connect to the shortest element on the back assembly, and the longest element extension will connect to the longest element. The element extensions should decrease in length as they near the center of the antenna (Figure 12). One element sleeve will be used to connect each element extension to its corresponding element.
