One thing I have been wondering with all this civil unrest seemingly worldwide if State Actors are more involved with stirring the pot in the West. There a lot of powers out there that wo...

Initially, Startlink will work much better here in the far North than along the Gulf. However, once fully populated... They have released some images of the ground equipment. P...

George wasn't a 'trigger' nor is he a martyr.. He is someone whose high risk lifestyle caught up with him. Sad. But this happens.. He is/was an excuse to lose the dogs.

In a word - NO.
I worked with Fiber optics comms at a phone company - SONET gear.
You would need something with a "diffraction grating" cut for the specific wavelength. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating)

Re: Sunburn COMMENT Thread
Radio manual complete (finally) and sent to Vendor for review. How long that might take is an open question. What made this one a bit more challenging is it covers a series rather than a single radio set. I'll post the work over in the Comms section once the vendor accepts the work. Oh, and I'm stil...
