Moonbounce

The guy have the voice of Windows Voice engine,

Sam has de computer default voice!!!

this was not a HAM radio experiment, or was it?

No, this is the US government at work.

the radiation returning from the moon is weaker than the readiation emitted by the poerlines in your home.

relax.

I have the top class license that was possible to get in germany. This permist me maximum of 750 watts.

i consider everything beyond that - beyond fairplay.

Whomever needs more than 100W to get somewhere
is walking on the wrong path. IMO.

Tell that to DL9KR.

i stopped trying to influence anyone, all i can do is leading by example, i worked most continents with a frigging groundplane and 100W, just by choosing the right band and waiting for the right moment, using CW.

people ignoring rules, laws and sportsmanship exist everywhere, not only in DL.




Perhaps this is one reason, why "ham spirit" is in danger of becoming a term of the past.

We were speaking totally of VHF/UHF/SHF.

ANYONE can work the world on HF.

Try working another continent on any band above 2 meters with 100 watts and a vertical.

'nuff said.

i referred to those "anyones" who could not work the world in HF w/o their kilowatts.

with regard to VHF, use sattelites for god sake.

moonbouncing is as efficient as dragging a caravan with a ferrari. It spams the frequency on half a globe for a
"one-to-many" communication and is only useful for dictators to spread their propaganda.

Just calculated W5UN's ERP.

1,259,189 watts.

1500 watts from amplifier to the 29.24 dBd antenna. This figure does not account for feed line loss. I have no idea what Dave's feedline length is, or if he is using 1 5/8s or not.

Still a million and a quater watts from 1500.
