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.
Is anyone interested: New Avatar backgrounds and accessories?

will your amature radio(ham) call sign always be the same unless you change it to vanity call sign?
i’m thinking about getting an radio operator license plate for my car and i didnt know if my call sign would change everytime i upgrade, i’m only a tech right now
Changing your call is voluntary. You can if you want to as you upgrade, but it is not a requirement.
I got my Amateur license plates while a tech, and kept my call when I upgraded.
