...and if you're wondering why they had Q codes back then, have you ever 
tried tapping out "My location is..." on your morse key for every person 
you QSO with ? PITA, much quicker to say "Operating QRP, QTH Broome, 
QSL?" but anyway, back on the off-topic topic, Onno, what type of cable 
do you from your AP to antenna ? some sort of coax (RG-213, Belon ?) 
with an SMA connector on it, or something similar ?

PS: I've never understood why we (amateur radio operators) use the term 
CP when you give out your post code ?! maybe it's something with French 
origina, I dunno.
