I can quite clearly state here and now, that I have never ever travelled miles to a static dx point in my car, set up the cubical quad and then realised I had forgotten the coax and had to ring my mate up and beg him to fetch it from my house and bring it out to me ...... ok, I may have done it once ...... |
