Additionally, I would like to be an active part of the new club's "DX research" up here on Cape Ann (Gloucester is about 30 mi. North of, and in sight of (from hilltops), Boston, Ma. Who knows, maybe someday we'll bounce a beam off a satellite's solar panel much like an Iridium "Flare!" and set new distance records! Briggs Longbothum, ab2nj, Gloucester, Ma. FN42pp | | | | | |

My first experiments in the spring of 1966 were with a voice modulated lantern light using an incandescant bulb. This transmitted voice and music several thousand feet across the Texas A&M campus. I soon moved up to a Texas Instruments near-IR emitter provided by Ed Bonin of TI for my travel aid for the blind project. In 1970 I built a series of laser diode communicators that sent signals more than 1 mile. BTW, MITS, the company that introduced the Altair 8800 microcomputer in January 1975 had previously developed the Opticom, an LED voice communicator. This was our first article in POPULAR ELECTRONICS, and it was featured as the cover story along with my article on LEDs. | | | | | |

As of this writing, I'm "radio inactive" but hope to get back on the air before I forget cw. | | | | | |
