Perhaps drifting a little OT, but I suspect there will be people here
who have a lot more idea than I do about this.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a Garmin GPS18 LVC. The problem I
have is that all the places I can reasonably put machines to connect it
to are on the north side of the building, which is at a latitude of
52.275036 N. This gives me a rather limited view of bits of the sky that
GPS satellites actually turn up in.

So what I want to know is how easy is it to extend the cable of these
units, and what are the implications? I'd probably need an extra 8 - 10m
to mount the unit on the south facing side of the building. Presumably
this will

1)  Introduce losses. Will the signal still be useably strong?
2)  Introduce delays. What sort of level of delay is involved, and is it
    significant compared to, say, those introduced by the OS (FreeBSD)

Thanks for any help
