OK, these are tiny steps. Yesterday I did a test reflecting my optical beacon from the kitchen, off the museum roof, to the RX in the lounge. I would guess the total path was only about 0.2km. The reflected signal was extremely strong, so I might try receiving the reflected signal at my son's house further away.
Unlike many years ago I am extremely giddy now. At one point the TX crashed to the floor. Luckily, nothing was broken.
I am just too wobbly for field work, but I want to do what I can. Receiving 10wpm CW at my son's house would be a great achievement for me nowadays.
