Billy,

Likewise mate, at least with your posting you can hear the Source then
echo

Regarding the moon, hmmm it has been high in the sky very early in the
night several days back, so its possible the moon was visible, however
its been raining hear for past 48 hrs and have major cloud cover, so I
can't visually confirm. Based on
http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/astro/moonrisenset it says for South Canberra
it should rise 1739 AEDT which was 0439 UTC.

Thats said, on the side of hope, the faint tone does sound like your echo ??

Also, during the afternoon, I not sure what the 6.9-7.5 freq like for
progation between Australia to US propagation, but I don't hear to much
until the sun sets ?? There again the Moonbounce Transmitter where using
a fair it of power.....

BUGGER!!!! hopefully ARRL / Moon Bounce team may respond to my email and
put me out of my misery

Either which way, your recording was brillant and shows what the signal
was suppose to sound like, do you mind if I use it on my BLOG ?

Regards
Mark

Interesting thought ?

I can hear the tone faintly, but is it the transmitter or echo ?

Hmmmmmmmm

Mark,

Thanks for posting the nice recording. I would presume you are hearing
the transmitter, as it is the more powerful signal. There is quite a bit
of path loss to the moon and back, so if you are only hearing -one-
signal, bet on it being the stronger (terrestrial) signal.

Also, to hear a reflection from the moon, the moon has to be above the
horizon. As the moon was high overhead in the USA for the duration of
the test, wouldn't the moon have already set (or not yet risen) in
Canberra?
