Slip a #10 hose clamp over each end of the cross tube.
Slide the bottom loading sections into the cross tube
as shown.  Lift the aluminum strip on the end so that 
it goes over the tube but under the hose clamp.  This 
makes the electrical connection for the coil.

Slide the top 10-40 loading coil 3 inches down into the top of the
main radiator.  Use a # 16 hose clamp to hold it in place.  Use the 
joining section of tubing to connect the 10-40 loading coil to the 
80 meter coil on top.  Use two #10 hose clamps to hold them.
Allow the aluminum strips to go under the hose clamps as before.
Two inches over lap on each end will be enough to secure the tube.
