[Mobile-Portable] Winter Prep, and HF Mobile Freqs?

[Earl Needham]

It's one of the side supports.  Six of them in there.  I'm thinking I might be able to loop a piece of string or wire inside the coil to reposition the support and then glue it.  Might work, only one end is separated, the other end is still connected, probably by a whisker.
