[NLRS] 10 G second weekend - K0KFC

[wb0ljc@juno.com]

There are some Fresnel lenses at ABC Electronics. 
I think the cost is $15. The useful area is about 10' square.

Another option is AEI, they have glass lenses that are 4"
dia for $3.00.

Who is ready to go with Laser equipment? What type do
you have, Ramsey Kit or something else?  I have a Ramsey
kit and two homebrew units that use a He-Ne with a chopper
wheel to modulate the signal at 1kHz. The homebrew units
are not compatible with the Ramsey units.
