[Laser] New PB for me

Although its not far in real terms, I was happy to copy audio from my 650nm
10mW (?) system this evening at 1 km. First time I have made the 1 km mark.
I would have tried further but this is as far as the road goes in this
direction.

I could read the audio at R4 with the unaided photodiode and easy copy with
a 2.5" magnifying glass that I found in town.

At the moment I have not built any boxes to house the RX and TX unit in,
have just been carrying around the circuits by hand, so building some
housings will be the next move.

Will also need to get the other operators in my area to get their acts
together and get some laser units running so we can actually have a QSO.
