This is a 60 mile VISIBLE (sodium line: 589 nm) beam!

>Has anyone in or near San Jose seen this beam?
>Can we use it as a beacon or target for our amateur cloudbouce comms?
>Can we use it to "calibrate" our systems ... using the reflections from it
>to confirm our low-power system's reflections?
>Any other ideas?

-haven't been out looking for this, I'm usually sleeping, but if I can 
find out when it's on and where it's pointing, I'll go out and take a 
look one of these days.
