Echoes of Apollo: a worldwide Moon Bounce event
13 February 2010
A worldwide Moon Bounce event, Echoes of Apollo (EOA), is set up for 16, 17 and 18 April 2010. This exciting expedition to the Arecibo Radio Telescope will also feature large Earth-Moon-Earth dishes, including those at MIT, Dwingeloo Holland, Chur Switzerland, possibly Goldstone/Apple Valley, Morehead State, and PARI, (Pisgah Astronomic Research Institute), in N. Carolina, along with many other amateur stations around the world. Science outreach is a key objective of EOA, and there will be opportunities for schools to be involved.
A note from the organisers: "If by any chance you have EME experience, and a complete EME Expedition 1296 capable station, get in touch. There may be an opportunity to join the Expedition, bringing your 1296 station to Arecibo. The DXpedition team will stay at Arecibo in advance of the FRI SAT SUN operating days, probably starting the prior Monday, staying on site in Research Staff Quarters."
