bob, you SERIOUSLY need to take a simple "basic electronics" course. The proof
of concept was done decades back. Absent a parabolic reflector and high-power,
60 ghz is much less useful than infrared (which can send broadband signals
miles these days.)
I'm just looking forward to having a 60-ghz modulator or three in my main room.
It will save me having to buy three cables.
