Hi Larry

Thank you for the reminder about the 1pps signal. I had forgotten about it.
What do you think of driving rs232 and the 1pps a distance of about 70 feet?
There are some tall slender oaks trees which partially lean over the house roof
and can partially block satellites at times which is why I want my gps receiver
mounted near the roof peak, just inside the roof vent. It is easily accessed
through a stairway in my garage. Also I am in the northern latitude, actually, 
N 42 degrees  14 minutes  11.628 seconds
W 72 degrees 41 minutes  00.628 seconds
I have a used receiver and used antenna I bought from you a couple of years
ago. I think the antenna lead is about 10 to 12 feet long. Could I do this with
cat 5 or would you recommend twisted pair? I am looking for suggestions. I know
you must be busy so take your time as I work a lot of overtime so I am not in a
rush. Thank you.

Richard
