[Laser] Optical DX Records

[John Matz]

Hi
I think Chris has not claimed his contact as a world record ... Chris is not
a ham, so the ham community won't recognize it ... he used LED sources, not
lasers which the ARRL wants in its "coherency" requirement ... and it is the
longest distance contact only in that part of the world (Australia et al.)
... but it's still neat !!!
