![]() ![]() Hell, try to convince them to perform a moon-bounce for you. ![]() Talk to those people, see if they have a "legitimate" equipment setup or not. They might also try to find an expert in radio communication, someone trustworthy, and go have a look. If someone wants to prove that amateur EME communication is a lie and put one more nail in the coffin of the "round Earth", they might try contacting some of these enthusiasts. Quite a few of them use relatively small antennas or dishes less than 10m. Most of them seem to use radio transmitters of no more than 2000W in fact some claim to use radio transmitters of less than 1000W. Many of them have websites and/or e-mail addresses. There's a list of EME radio enthusiasts/stations here. Unless you're talking of a tiny football field (lol) and your idea of a small "power station" is something the size of a portable generator. The idea that you'd need a dish the size of football field and a small power station to yourself is a blatant lie. This being said, the idea that the equipment needed to perform a moonbounce experiment is somehow outside the realm of possibility for an amateur radio enthusiast is a misconception. ![]() It's not a term that describes the equipment used. Ham radio is just a synonym for amateur radio. How does this method compare with the FE Measurement of 15 KM ? The result is not as precise as those done by other methods, but is close enough to prove the point. So do hundreds of amateur radio operators. The rest of the distance is "outer space" or a vacuum which has no effect.ġ.275 seconds times 186,000 miles per second equals 237,150 miles The earth's atmosphere has been proven to be of a neglible effect. The speed of radio waves has been proven to be 186,000 miles per second. I got disgusted with the way this subject was going and originally deleted my OP but am re-inserting if just for the record.Ī radio signal aimed at the moon and transmitted from the earth to the moon on an Amateur Radio "Moon Bounce" operation travels to the moon and "bounces" off the moon and is returned and travels back to the earth and is received back at the earth 2.55 seconds later for the "round trip" time.Ģ.55 seconds divided by 2 equals 1.275 seconds for the "one way return" from the moon. ![]()
