Not really true. Ex-Yugoslavia wasn't part of either block. They were
leaders of "movement of non-allied countries", separated from eastern block
and Stalin in 1948 and being under pressure and isolation from them for a
while, but resisted... However, for some reason, military equipment in the
army was more of eastern standard. Probably being easier to sell to east
than to west. Someone told me that ex-yu was third exporter of arms in the
world, so most was going to export, but that topic is probably for some
other group...

LOL.

I have this mental picture of, 20 years ago, your father and Tim's watching
each other's through this kit... Now their son's are discussing how it can
be used to help a mutual friend.

Kind of nice, really.

They’re divided into mils (6400 mils in as circle) I don’t know which ones
you used but the Nato standard is divisions at 5 mil intervals.

Binocular with bearing could be a problem (it needs compass or gyro), but
distance shouldn't be a problem.

Almost any military binocular has ticks (I don't know what the proper
expression is) on it and it's used for determining distance.

You pick an object of known size (like door hight, or building size) and see
how many "ticks" it fits. Each tick is 1meter over distance of 1,000 meters
and then you need a bit of mathematics...

E.g.

if object is 1 meter wide and it fits 2 ticks, then the distance is 500
meters.

That's what they tought us...

For the serious distance kings amongst us ;)

We have confirmed that we have LOS between my house (NS784625 as it happens)
and my mate Scott's (NS658678) That's 13,920 metres away, on a bearing of
294 degrees.

I got this information (afte much mucking around with A supremely cool tool
I got from here..

http://www.bootsacrossscotland.org.uk/Site/Resources.html
<http://www.bootsacrossscotland.org.uk/Site/Resources.html>

takes two OSGB Grid References, and calculates distance and bearing...
well useful.

This chart I also found on my travels...

http://www.orinocowireless.com/upload/documents/Ranges.htm
<http://www.orinocowireless.com/upload/documents/Ranges.htm>

which gives the sort of ranges you can expect with good atmospherics using
various Antenna powers.

These guys...

http://www.fab-corp.com/index.htm <http://www.fab-corp.com/index.htm>

sell parabolic grid 19dbi antennas for only $49.99 USD, and Orinoco pigtails
for $21-23 USD dependant on length.

I found myself *really* wanting a bit of sci-fi kit for this project.

A set of binoculars with a HUD, which displays the exact bearing you are
looking, like Luke Skywalker uses in Star Wars. A range finder would be nice
too.

:D

Ian.
