[NLRS] 10 GHz & Light Youtube

[Andrew T. Flowers, K0SM]

I've done a little work with the non-LOS stuff.  It's definately doable, 
particularly using some DSP techniques.  If you are going to use visible 
light, be aware of any local ordinances regarding lasers.  If you use an 
"LED" one would argue that you don't have to worry about it, beyond any 
light-pollution requirements and some common sense.   Here in NY the 
laws are downright draconian in regard to lasers, but I don't know what 
they are like where you are.

I have an article in the 2004 (? --whenever we were up near Toronto) 
CSVHFS proceedings that outlines some of the non-LOS experiements I've 
done.  I'm happy to send a copy if anyone would like it.  I also have 
some really simple CW keying circuits for lasers and LEDs that you could 
use for both audio MCW and DSP work.  Just ask.

BTW, if anyone knows of an IR version of the Luxeon LED I'd be interested...
