History

Cape Walløe was named in 1829 by Lieutenant Wilhelm August Graah (1793–1863) after Dano-Norwegian Arctic explorer Peder Olsen Walløe (1716 – 1793) who was the first European known with certainty to have explored the southern part of the southeastern coast of Greenland using local umiak boats. This headland was the farthest point that Walløe reached up the then uncharted coast before he had to turn back[2] because he found it impossible to proceed further north owing to the ice.[3]

Geography

Cape Walløe is located 7 km (4.3 mi) northeast of the mouth of Nattoralik Fjord.[4] The entrance of Kangerluaraq Fjord lies to the NW around the cape.[5]

Then this is definitely not perfect, but does work for that!Use `set rx_side [whatever]` and `set tx_side [whatever]` on each computer to set which side of the computer they should receive/transmit on.
