A Few Words from Rocket Machine Worx About New Color Options for Its Bulkhead Coax Connector Panels & More

OnAllBands stopped by one of our favorite manufacturers, Rocket Machine Worx, at Dayton Hamvention® 2026 to talk with the small company that has big ideas about cable management and routing solutions for amateur radio stations.

The Millen, Georgia, amateur radio products manufacturer is operated by husband-and-wife Navy veterans and Extra class licensees Jason Welsh, KC2CIX, and Lisa Welsh, KI6HHY.

OnAllBands spent a few minutes with Jason, KC2CIX, to talk about what’s new with the company, including the TravelPatch Coaxial Connector Panel (not available at last Hamvention) and the company’s range of bulkhead coaxial connector panels which are now available in different colors.

“We’re offering all our products in Cerakote®,” Jason said. “Cerakote, if you’re not familiar, is a baked-on ceramic finish. The advantage to that on our products is that—especially for the Window Wing kit installation—it’ll protect the backside of that against the elements for a very long time.”

Cerakote options are now available at DX Engineering for the MiniPatch and MicroPatch Bulkhead Coaxial Connector Panels. Look for more options as they become available.

Could you tell us a little bit about some of the creative ways people are using your bulkhead coaxial connector panels?

“The MidPatch and the MiniPatch are most popular installed with the Window Wing Kit,” Jason said.
