[PVRCNC] Weatherproof DC cabling

[James Jordan]

At VP5, whenever we switch from a fully QRV single op guest station to a
multi-op, two radio, setup for contests, we spend a lot of time extending
cables, going through window pass throughs etc. I have a large weatherproof
box that will hold the EA4TX SixPak equivalent and numerous bulkhead coax
connectors for antennas, extension cables, etc., so RF isn't a problem..
The problem is coming up with weatherproof plug-in connectors for the
sixpak control box, SteppIR controller and antenna rotator that are
weathertight both connected and unconnected.  I'm looking at a minimum of
13 wires for the sixpak, 14 for the SteppIR, 8 for the rotator which could
of course be separate jacks. Military type jacks would be ideal, but I
haven't figured out how to use taxpayer money to finance my project!
Any ideas or places to find stuff that would work in a coastal environment
and not break the bank?
