[wxqc] Lacrosse WS-2315 extended data cables

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

If it works, and considering how easy it is to acquire, then Cat5 isn't 
overkill.

I'd strongly recommend any exposed Cat5 (if it's going outside)) be the 
stuff designed for outside use, which is (of course) more expensive but 
less likely to have the jacket degrade and cause shorting problems.
