Now THAT's clever.  I'll have to do something like that here.  For Yaesu
rotator users, NAPA auto parts stores sell a 6-conductor trailer connector
for ~$4.  It has very effective weather sealing, heavy internal conductors,
and relatively long color-coded pigtails.  It'd also be a good choice for
Stackmatches and similar control devices where you'd like to have control
closer to "ground zero" when working on things.
