Cloud bouncing light carrying 488 Hz and 976 Hz Morse code signals.
BUILD A LIGHT TRANSMITTER and a light receiver to bounce Morse code signals off overhead clouds.
You can hear your light signals reflected from clouds. The transmitter will carry a 488 Hz and 976 Hz signal up to the clouds and some of that light with the 488 Hz and 976 Hz signal will be reflected by the clouds back to Earth and picked up by your light wave receiver.
Free computer software can be downloaded to make signals in the noise sound very nice.
Listen here to light waves being reflected off the clouds with and without computer processing.

BUILD AN OPTICAL LIGHT TRANSMITTER, ANTENNA AND DETECTOR (LIGHT RECEIVER) FOR CLOUD BOUNCE. This is a 15 Watt transmitter using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with the antenna (Lens) and the receiver (solar panel).

Optical astronomy looks at visible light wavelengths.
Mogadishu airport in Somalia seen from space.
Using light wavelengths this photo was taken from 190 nautical miles (352 km) above Somalia from the International Space Station (ISS) showing Mogadishu city, Mogadishu airport (top centre) and the Mogadishu new sea Port (left) on the 28 October 2008. The white circles are clouds. (Photo thanks to NASA).

This is the Earth, Africa, Somalia and Saudi Arabia seen when travelling to the Moon.
This is the Earth as seen by the Apollo 17 astronauts as they traveled to the Moon on the 7 December 1972. Four days later on 11 December 1972 Harrison Schmitt and Gene Cernan walked on the Moon. They are the last of the 12 humans that have so far walked on the Moon.

How to build a radio station in Somalia.
How to build a radio station antenna in Somalia.
The hard working Somalia team with the rotatable horizontal antenna in Galkayo, North East Somalia.
In August 1994 the Somalia ground team and the Somalia tower team with the new helmets and new safety belts (donated by a Western Australia mining company), new walkie talkies, new antenna and new radio equipment (donated by Rotary Australia and the Australian Government) and two Australian volunteers (Abdikarim Nur Mohamud 6O0W and Sam Voron VK2BVS, 6O0A) all came together to upgrade Radio Free Somalia (“Free for all to use” known later as Radio Galkayo).
Radio Free Somalia (“Free for all to use” known later as Radio Galkayo) had been established in August 1993 by the Melbourne Somali community and the same two volunteers at the Galkayo Police station, Galkayo, North East Somalia.
North East Somalia became the Puntland State of Somalia on the 1st August 1998.
