Because if it came from the moon there would be a few seconds delay as it's
a long way to the moon and back. If it was back scatter the signal would show up instantly and would obvious. -- John Passaneau W3JXP State College, Pa "Derek Wills" wrote in message ... hearing him off the moon and on back scatter at the same time. With the Doppler and 2+ second time delay it sounded like two different stations. Our club station has a card for an EME QSO with W5UN. We have very simple equipment, so how do I know that it was really EME and not backscatter, since we are in Texas as well (as well as he is, I mean..)? Just because W5UN says so? Derek aa5bt |

John Passaneau W3JXP I don't buy that argument - when you call someone there is often a delay of a couple of seconds (that's all it is, 2.5 secs or so) before they reply. That would work with your own signal being reflected from the moon vs backscatter, but not in this case. Derek aa5bt |
