Next month i should be able to start doing some tests.
I've built the pgp front end (night version) and have
a short focal length (F:1) 16 inch plastic parabolic
mirror to use with it. I just need to make a mounting
for it. I have Argo and some other software.
I'll be using LED's and IR diode lasers from junk cd
players as transmitters/beacons. These cd player
diodes seem to have a nice 5 mw output or better just
judging from how they look through a b&w video camera.
I will probably post some images and stuff on my
website soon as i get results.

How far should the transmitter and receiver be from
each other to make sure your seeing a true cloud
bounce signal and not backscatter?
