ham radio signals
Is it true that ham radio operators bounce signals off of the moon?
I know that lasers are bounced off of retroreflectors left on the moon, but why do that if ham radio operators have done it for years? Have they?
sure. this is well documented. they even have contests to see who can talk to the most stations that way. they’re been doing it for years. some hams who were using the 2.3 ghz ham band for this tuned their gear down to 2.28 ghz and listened to apollo missions.
the reason they go to all the trouble of using the apollo reflectors for ranging is to get coherent signals off the moon they can measure. ham radio signals illuminate most of teh moon, bounce off innumerable mountains and boulders, and are not all the useful for measurement by the time they get back to earth.

WWII memories linger for veteran
Memories of World War II are never far from Ludger Bossley. Although decades and thousands of miles separate him from Europe and what he experienced there as a young man, mementos in his tidy Fort Collins apartment tell the story of his military service. On a mantle is a picture of his wife, Mary Margaret, who waited anxiously in his hometown of Crowley, La., for his return from the war. read more
