[MLB-WIRELESS] Give me some of that good cable....

I'm getting together all my toys to start building a link and ordered
some nice low loss cable. It's nice and thick, so it must be good :-).

I would prefer some cable that wasn't so stiff and cumbersome.

Well thickness is important Geoff but so is length.

RG58 loses 69dB per 100m  (but you knew that because you've done your
research). So I wouldn't hesitate to use a few metres and you'll find
the connectors are easier to get your hands on.
