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).
