[TowerTalk] Rotor tip

[Jeffrey C. Rowsey]

Hi Dale,

Saw your post on the TT about the Molex plugs for rotor cable.  I'm in
the process of putting a feedthru panel in the new shack and I'm looking
for a source for a double female bulkhead style plug.  Any sources would
be greatly appreciated!

TIA,

Jeff - WB5YWI
