<snips> > > Has anyone actually had any success using a CD Rom as a signalling mirror over realistic distances? I will be chaperoning a group of Boy Scouts in the Chiricahua Mountains in July and I have packed a number of handheld optical wireless signaling devices. I figure they can't hurt and in an emergency just might me helpful. I will try to determine how far they can practicably be used. I also wonder whether they could be used to send simple Morse code messages between advance and rear guard hikers (think 18 hikers strung out over high desert terrain).
