'''SSI-1E4''' was SSI's first successful 10km optical link test. The test followed an unsuccessful attempt the previous night, which was inhibited severely by [[fog]] levels in the mountains. The team drove to the [[Skyline Boulevard Overlook | test sites]] much earlier than usual, getting there in time to set up during daylight, and began transmitting as dusk fell in the hopes of establishing a link before the fog became significant. With cooperation from the weather and some on-site revision of the rigs, the test was successful, with the receive team able to clearly see the binary signal sent by the transmitter.
