Find the back section (the section with only
one set of elements).
Unfold the two VHF elements on the back
section.
On the middle section (the one you unfolded
in step 2), find the word "Back" stamped in
blue on the boom. Find the same stamp on the
boom of the back section. Line up both booms
so that the stamps face you.
Remove the screw and nut from end of the
middle section closest to the back section.
Insert the crimped end of the back section into
the middle section as illustrated on the left.
NOTE: Make sure the blue-stamped words "Back"
on the two sections are lined up.
Once the extension is in place, re-insert the
screw and install the nut to secure the two
sections together.
