The write-up on the 119 mile Laser Beam COMM Experiment from 1963? Neat...

https://ka7oei.blogspot.com/search/label/helium%20neon     I've contemplated upon using narrow light beams, even modulated lasers, as an STL. However, you'd still have to deal with rain, fog, snow, falling debris, dust clouds, etc. Lines-of-sight is just that. So, a really neat experiment, but not practical for 24/7 data and COMM's delivery, except through Fibre Optic Cables.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
