No. Not directly. Radio waves move in line of sight (a straight line). This is the reason there are so many communications satelites orbiting the Earth. Radio waves are bounced off them to other parts of the globe. If there were two to three satelites in geosynchronous orbit in the L-positions over the moon, we could have essentially obstruction free communication with Far Side.

When was Moon River - radio program - created?
Moon River - radio program - was created in 1930.
What are some interesting facts about radio waves?
Discovered by a man named James MaxwellInteresting facts about radio waves.1) They can bounce around the earth.2) They can bounce off of clouds.3) They can travel great distances with very little power. Look up QRP in Wikipedia.4) You can talk to space craft hovering out in space with radio waves.5) You can transmit, and receive voice, and data in the form of pictures, video, and typed print.6) You can bounce them off of the moon, and hear the ones that return to you.7) You can bounce them off of Mars, and hear the ones that return to you.8) You can bounce them off of Venus, and hear the ones that return to you.9) You can bounce them off of rainstorms, airplanes, and tornado's, and hearthe ones that return to you.10) You can use them to quickly warm up a piece of leftover meatloaf.11) They travel at the same speed that light does.12) They're the fastest possible way to move information from here to there.To learn a lot more about radio waves, visit your local Amateur Radio club. Better yet, become an Amateur Radio operator. They help support communications in times of disaster. It can be a very rewarding hobby as well. You will meet lots of smart, and friendly people who all share your interest.
Can radio waves penetrate Earth's atmosphere?
yes, this is why we had two-way radio contact ( and still do) with NASA manned space craft. Also don't forget . . . -- radio contact with Apollo astronauts on the moon -- radio contact with the International Space Station -- receiving pictures and data from the Hubble Space Telescope -- receiving TV at home from stationary satellites -- radio contact with Curiosity on Mars -- radio-astronomy
How far does ham radio work?
Some amateur radio operators regularly communicate with each other by reflecting their signals off of the moon, so we know that amateur radio communication is possible over distances of at least a half-million miles ... something like 19 times the distance around the earth We don't know how much farther it might work, because there aren't any hams out there to talk to.
Why do radio waves not follow a straight line?
radio waves are affected by a number of environmental conditions which cause the following:refractionreflectionabsorptiondiffractionscatteringRadio waves at UHF and above frequencies can be refracted around sharp edge grounded objects such as walls. The effect gets more apparent as the frequency increases.Reflection of radio occurs if an obstruction is sufficiently dense to deflect radio waves such as aluminium and other metals.In the case of absorption and material of high density will either block a signal or absorb it if grounded or of sufficient mass. The level of absorption is dependent of the radio frequency emitted or the density of the obstruction.Earths atmosphere can become ionised be Solar radiation and cause radio waves of LF to HF to be reflected back to Earth. This propagation is known as "Skip". VHF UHF and Microwaves are significantly less likely to be affected by the ionisation layers.VHF radio can have a non linear path if subjected to charged plasma such as caused by cosmic radiation such as the Northern or southern aurora borealis.UHF and microwaves can be subject to "Ducting" where the radio signal will bounce between charged cloud layers.All radio waves can be scattered by an object which reflects. An example of this is meteor scatter or moon bounce (Also known as EME earth moon earth).These exotic modes of radio propogation use objects to scatter the radio signal. In this case either meteor showers lilke the Persids which occurs every year or the surface of the moon. These modes are generally only used by Amatuer radio enthusiasts.
Is it possible bounce to the moon on a pogo?
No it is not possible to bounce to the moon on a pogo stick.
What is the distance that a ham radio can travel?
The radio signal can travel to the moon, bounce off its face, and reach an operator on the other side of the world. You can even talk to the International Space Station!
What is a moon bounce?
Moon Bounce generally refers to shortwave radio transmission that is directed toward the Earth's moon, whether or not intentionally, and which is "bounced" off it's surface to return to Earth for reception. The propagation delay time between transmission and reception of the radio signal can be calculated using the speed of light and the known distance. Whereas, light travels approximately 186 thousand miles per second and the moon is approximately 239 thousand miles distant, it will therefore take a radio signal about 2.57 seconds to complete a journey from Earth to moon and back again (239,000 X 2 / 186,000).
Can you bounce on Pluto?
You can, but there is no guarantee that the signal would bounce directly back to earth. Plus, you would need extremely actuate equipment. I have done Moon Bounce, with a handheld radio and yagi antenna. Pluto would be very difficult. I will try this using a telescope as a spotting scope and by crossing my fingers. I'll start with Mars, and save Pluto for the Professionals.
what is Speed of a radio wave?
Radio waves can travel 300,000km per second. If someone was dialing from the moon to the earth, a signal would arrive in about 1.3seconds. The distance from the moon to the earth is 390,000km.
How long does it take the reflected ray of light from the full moon to get to earths surface?
1.28 seconds at the moon's average distance from earth ... same as for a radio signal.
Can you bounce a ball on the moon?
yes but it would bounce wikid high(no gravity)

What products does Moon Bounce sell?
The moon bounce sells a number of party supply products.From bounce houses to wet slip and slides. to adult tents and chair rentals and party rentals.
Why you can not walk on the moon?
You can not walk like on earth on the moon, as it has less gravity you will bounce about.
Why did the astronauts bounce on the moon?
probaly because it was easier
Why can astronauts bounce on the surface of the moon?
Because the gravity of the moon is only 1/3 of that on Earth.
