Brief Description:  swap COM1 and COM 2 antenna

rerouted cables and installed new BNC's

COM 1 (G530) now goes to belly antenna
COM 2 (SL30) now goes to AAE antenna bonded into VS

After all my RF noise troubleshooting so far, I think I have G530 good. Still get some noise on SL30 on 119.50, but not 121.9 now. So, I wnated to have my best antenna on the best radio set up, and I prefer to use the G530 as the "main" radio.

Considered just swapping the cables behind the panel, but while G530 was fairly accessible, the cable stub to the SL30 was tied into a wiring bundled that was very hard to get to.

Ended up with only 1 additional connector (on the new COM 2 run), but I eliminated the 90 degree contraption I had on what is now the COM 1 belly antenna. So, I am net the same number of connections, and actually one less on the "good" belly circuit.

Had to do the new BNCs in place so those were challenging workign conditions. 25 degrees outside today...maybe 30+ in hangar!

Replaced screws in ELT door with torx SS 6-32 screws. Replacing all on aircraft as I touch them. Nice screws.
