That's pretty neat to see at that distance. I've read that signal mirrors can be effective at even longer distances than 20 miles. I just completed a video that teaches how to signal effectively with a hand mirror. I'll attach it.
@CrypticCRICKET Yes, in two of my other videos, another friend is flashing me from 40+ miles. He used a bigger, more reflective mirror: 3"x5" glass vs. this 2"x3" metal mirror. I found your video, but it isn't in my "video attachments" folder for approval. I'll be happy to approve it, once it gets there, though. Your video is the most thorough one I've seen for that particular technique - lots of good stuff. See also: "The Signaling Mirror: WWII US Government Training Film" on YouTube.
