Hi Don, go to
www.yachtwire.com/ssb.pdf This is a great write-up on SSB Voodo
Cruise down to page 8 (wire connections and techniques) regarding the proper connecting directions. All in all it looks like someone had a roll of tape and just got a bit over enthusiastic. I do suggest looking at the other parts on connecting such as spacers, soldering, ect.......... All out lined in this document.
Hats off to Eric for at Farralon Electronics for the document I pass it freely here when I'm giving rig/sail seminars for puddle-jump.
Hope this helps........
