[time-nuts] GPS Signal Strength Through Roof?

[Jason Rabel]

Rob,

I was just going to use some RG-58, and if I can mount it in the attic then
I probably won't need to run more than 15-20ft at most. Loss along the cable
should be minimal since the run will be short, I just didn't know how much
the roof would block the signal.
