I didn't do much better. 10 QSO's in 6 grids = 60 points. But most were on CW and a couple on SSB. Conditions were flat, as expected. I have to thank K9JK/R for giving me 3 of the 4 grids he activate

Hi Ed, I think it would be really cool to send SSTV pictures via light, or even regular fast-scan ATV. You're giving me a lot of ideas for experimentation that I wouldn't have had before ... 73, Zack

Note that the VUCC rules also state "laser above 300 GHz" for that award. I wonder if that can also be changed some day to include other types of light sources? It appears eight people have VUCC for

I don't know if it is a big deal since with light, you don't really need an amateur radio license to experiment. And how is the FCC going to monitor it? But with lasers you generally have a good idea
