[Laser] 121 km Laser Contact in Quebec, Canada

[steve kavanagh]

I got word recently of a 121 km line-of-sight red laser QSO made between VE2BP and VE2JWH on Sept. 17.  The transmitters were initially 100 mW lasers but they switched to 5 mW lasers and that worked too.  Receivers were K3PGP types with Fresnel lenses.  As I understand it, the modulation was AM voice.
