Well, Mark brags about his EME communication ability. Perhaps this is the
type of Earth Moon communication he refers to. He uses a rubber duckie
antenna! ;-)



A strong xmitter and a rubber ducky in front of a corner reflector
(parabolic reflector formed out of "chicken wire"--even better) and moon
bounce would most likely be a given.

A walkie talkie with you standing in front of a reflector would be
chancy ... :-(
