Oeps, I made a mistake. The moon is at greater distance. Not only europeen amateurs but every
radio amateur who can see the moon can receive the radar. I mainly use the radar to track low
orbiting satellites and than its true.

Hello Moonbouncers,

This may be of interest of european radio amateurs to test your 2 meter receiver. Today I tried to
receive the graves radar on 143.050MHz via moonreflection. Signals where very strong!!!
The moon must be south of Dijon, France around 20 degrees elevation. This is the location of the
radar. Every 19,2 second you will receive a cw carrier of 3.2 seconds.

Here is an example. The direct signal is at 1000Hz. The moonreflection is because of doppler about
180Hz higher.

Good luck with this moonbounce beacon!
