[Laser] cloudbounce

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 23:56:33 -0600

I finally got out to do some tests with the PGP front end and my 11"x11" fresnel lenses.  It was overcast this evening, so I fired up my IR laser into the clouds (with expander).  I was able to get 40db S/N returns from my receiver 30 yds away pointing parallel to the transmitter. Next step is to see how far away I can receive this signal and maybe even do a xband QSO before I build another reciever for a 2x QSO.  I'll make some recordings and pictures when I get out next.
