Digital signals had no problems with wire wrap connections in the 60s and 70s. That was one of the ways Burroughs built some of their mainframes in that era. I bet the RF was basically contained on one card and brought down to a rather low frequency or to sampled data before it was shoved out onto the wire wraps. OR the cards were connected via SMA for the RF connections.

I saw a lot of that in the bad old days. (And if wrapped just a tad tight vibration was unkind to the wire wraps because of the inherent nicks in the wires on the square edges of the posts.)
