Hi Chris! Here and on ntp-questions always helping me out! Thanks!
Moving it up to the roof would be difficult. Would have to talk to all neighbours to ask permission to run a cable to the roof. I'll have to keep it at this location. Anyway, in position hold I would assume that using 2 satellites will give me good time. Right? Thanks again!
