[Laser] QRP Transceivers

[Les Rayburn]

Thank you for sharing the schematics, and the links page. Very extensive 
and helpful.

My eyesight won't allow for me to do much home brew work anymore, but 
I'm very much interested in trying to attempt the five grids needed to 
achieve the VHF UHF Century Club Award (VUCC) which requires being able 
to cover a distance of about 70 miles. Obviously, we'd need to use 
tripods, and suitable optics on both sides. But many people have 
achieved it with relative ease from high locations.

Would you be willing to build two laser transceivers, capable of such 
range (at least in theory) in your spare time for hire? Happy to pay for 
parts, housing, optics, and whatever you feel would make it worth your 
while. Can pay in advance, so you're not trusting me for the funds too. 
No rush on construction. Any attempt would be months away, certainly not 
until the spring of 2014.

Please feel to call and discuss with any questions. 205-620-3473.
