[Laser] Is it sill alive? If so I have a question.

[Zack Widup]

I'm working on going up the bands one at a time. Maybe I'll get a
laser/light comm system together this year. But I got on 47 GHz as a new
band last year and successfully made some contacts on that band. Now
finishing up on 78 GHz. A laser system would be a LOT simpler than these
bands!
