Its a Cushcraft...you didn't pay good money. You got what you paid for.
You pay good money for a M2 or a Force 12, but not for a Cushcraft.
Sure it works, everything works, but don't expect a silk purse...

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.......
