EARTH - MOON - EARTH

Earth - Moon - Earth (EME), is a method of long range communication where by radio signals are 'bounced' off the moon surface. Any two locations on earth with the moon visible to their antennas can conduct radio contact via the moon with the appropriate equipment. Only approximately 10% of the signal that reaches the moon is reflected back to earth. The more antenna gain you have and the more transmitter power you can run, the more success you will have with EME. Your stations loss and noise figures are also quite important factors, as well as your local QRM.

The earliest I can find records of my earth moon earth contacts are OCTOBER 2003 with RN6BN on 144 MHz. Im not really into EME these days as there is not a great deal of variability in it, a bit like a satellite contact.
