[VHFcontesting] Improvements to a Rover over the years

[John D'Ausilio]

Actually, I do use barrels .. but instead of having them outside in
the wx, I mounted them to the inside door panel (which is metal, this
is a cargo van) and cut the hole on the outside panel and put the
dryer vent there for access. Cables all end in right-angle N adapters,
which connect inside the door to the barrels. I was originally looking
at some cool cable/pipe passthrough systems but they were all too
expensive. Setup's not an issue .. the cables are always connected :)
