The large parabolic antenna in the picture, pointing straight up, seems to
be that moonbounce antenna.

You know, that could just be the position the antenna is parked. It might be
a bit of an assumption that the moon is straight up! ;-)

Reading closely, you would see that there was no implication
in the previous posting that the antenna was actively in use. Yes, it
may have been parked, under maintenance or so positioned for any
number of other reasons.
