A way to let the glider escape (the standard block Heschel eater does not work because the resulting phi spark hits the glider. Other issues prevent other Herschel eaters from being used (EDIT: The tub eater works as shown by Elijah Ken below)):

There are some variants of SW-2 that fit here, but combined with the eater 5 to remove the FNG they all have a higher population count than the 'dependent' Herschel eater above. They are also not Spartan.

However, one of them does work as a minpop variant of the pulsar to H alone, but requires an eater 1 which does not fit in the above case:

These catalysts can allow the tub enough clearance for the tub to delete the Herschel:

Unfortunately, the junk caused by the Herschel are in the path of the output, so any catalysts placed to clean up the mess would likely get in the way. However, the block in the above patten is only used to remove a TL, so it might actually be possible with an alternate catalyst.

Using my currently work-in-progress naming system labels this as I(H)O(R)|R5X-8Y10T87C(98+)
I'll go into detail over this some other time

Not sure how to actually connect the R while keeping the openness of the input, but works with RF28B to make a HL174 (RF48H breaks down)

In case you just want to get a Herschel output, I shall mention that appending RR73H works.

A quick glance at the R→H conduits in my personal version of the ECC suggests that this is the only conduit that has the necessary clearance in front of the input R to connect, but I didn't actually try connecting each one, so I have included the entire R→H section below in case someone else wants to check more thoroughly. (Bear in mind that these are only the direct/elementary R→H conduits that I know of, and even then, some elementary R→H conduits may be missing, especially because I haven't updated my personal version of the ECC in a while.)
