This is some of the wiring for the BandMaster III that was suspended under the Station 1 table. It had caught in an operator's feet and I was afraid this would happen again. I took it all apart, rewired it securely and well up out of the way, and mounted the BandMaster III on the coax switch panel in place of the old inop Top Ten Devices antenna selector switch. The rewire was easy because K8ND had labelled all cables clearly and beautifully. I did this by fabricating an assembly from aluminum channel that enables us now to drop the BM III in from the top without having to even open its case. The operator can easily see the band selection lights on what is now the "top" of the BandMaster III. Looks like a small thing, but this took most of a Saturday between contests.
