LA6NCA's WW2 German Radio Collection Pictures and a little history on many WW2 German radios including a cute as a button spy radio and the Lichtsprechgerät 80, an incoherent light audio transceiver. Also featured are a few photo essays of the equipment in use (Enigma, Luftwaffe Signals unit redeploying). [dorian
Now use the Lichtsprechgerät for WiFi.
Interesting stuff, thanks Mitheral.

hmm, I should have looked at the "via" portion of the post before commenting.

Wow, this is great. I can't wait 'til I'm on a high-speed connection and can find out more about the LiSpr 80. That's really interesting.

Where was I reading recently that Mick Jagger collects Enigma machines?

Relay,
Mick Jagger owned an original four-rotor Enigma encoding machine which he loaned to the film for historical accuracy in constructing props.
according to the Wikipedia entry for the film Enigma.

No way; that thing is 60 years old? Doesn't look like it. Amazing.

Anybody know if wander found about about Floydd knowing whether breezeway got a high speed connection to find out about the LiSpr 80?

Thanks for your concern, Floydd et al. The LiSpr 80 did not disappoint. Does anybody know how well it would operate in less-than clear weather?
I bet trying to test those in the US now would earn you a visit from DHS.

Unless you had the scopes in place before visibility tanked you'd be limited by your ability to aim the scopes. They do work in the IR range so you would be able to communicate for a while in worsening conditions even if you couldn't see the the other scope.
