Who sent me a broken GPS antenna to repair?

A few months back someone sent me a tiny GPS ceramic patch antenna with a broken cable for me to try and repair and I can’t remember who it was.

Anyway, it’s fixed and working. Soldering whilst wearing a jeweller’s loupe is “fun”!

Here’s the dump from a uBlox GPS using the repaired antenna:

If you identify yourself then I can send it back to you.
