Hello Group.

Pleased to say that after a lot of hard work Allan Wyatt, G8LSD, and I 
finally made a QSO over 49.3km on Saturday night.



Anyway, details as follows

Stations:

G0MRF/P    
Location: Fairlight, Sussex.   Locator  JO00HU
Laser power    10mW  670nm (laser diode)
detector    OPT210  photodiode
RX  100mm lens

G8LSD/P
Location   Dover, Kent.   Locator  JO01OC
Laser power 3mW   670nm (laser diode)
detector    OPT211  photodiode
RX  120mm reflecting telescope

Distance by GPS    49.3km  Date Saturday 5th April 2003.   
QSO was modulated CW achieved by switching the laser at 488Hz ( divided down 
from a 4MHz crystal)

Does anyone know what the current European record is?
