Take a look at the plexiglas panels to the left and above the LM - 
they're patch panels made up of spark plug tips, used with "Rajah" spark 
plug connectors.  There were a number of HF antennas on this aircraft, 
all of which led to that panel.  All the leads from various pieces of 
equipment could be swapped from antenna to antenna, depending on the 
need.  Think ELINT... :-)

I'll put up a couple of other photos in a moment that may elicit more 
discussion.
