[Moon-net] M-E Communications

[Pat Barthelow]

I am studying this problem:
If I had a low power, (Say, 10dbm) omni directional antenna/transmitter on the moon surface, and was transmitting 12 wpm Morse Code on 432  to Earth, what amount of signal would I have at Earth to work with?   How much gain do I need in my Earth Based antenna in order to transcribe the code by ear, with a normal EME receiver/commercial preamp, with selectable stock narrow band filters, say about 100 Hz bandwidth?    If I used JTxx encoding, same question.

All the Best, 73,
