My RF probe I built just by soldering the leads of the components together.
No PCB at all. I wrapped some insulating tape round it to give me something
to hold it with. The "probe" is one lead from the capacitor. So I think the
answer to your question is "yes, you can."

I would have thought most club members would fall over themselves to help a
newcomer who is actually willing to try building something that he would
have to know CW to use. I doubt if you'd need to ask for help, just explain
the problem and they'll be queuing up to assist.
