Theres a group of us down here in EN52 that are building several 
cw laser stations.  Most or all of the parts can be found at Radio 
Shack.  Radio Shack is also clearing out their laser modules for 
$5 if you can find one. (They are the laser module with 2 wires 
attached and work on 3vdc.)  Check out the Laser Communications 
page at

Enjoy and wear your sunglasses...  Jeff K9YR EN52
