You bet. They started out when some of the guys noticed brief point-source
bright flashes
on the lunar surface. Used 80m to time whether the flashes were synchronized
across
large observation distances. If they were not, then the flashes were likely
meteors in
the earth's atmosphere; if they were synchronized, then the probablility
that they were
associated with an event on the lunar surface was pretty high.
The guys had scopes setup in the backyard and 100-foot headphone/microphone
cables
going back to the radio so they could observe and talk on the radio
simultaneously.
They did reach a conclusion about the flashes....

To be honest, I never felt comfortable on 75 meters, nor did I feel
that I fit in for the most part. There were groups, however, in which
I enjoyed participating,
Anyone remember the Astro-Net on 3885 kc from the 1960s? It was composed
of group of amateur astronomers who nightly trained their telescopes on a
particular celestial object and would then have round-table comments
about that object. It was fascinating to eavesdrop on that net.
