Why are amateur radio signals bounced off of the moon?
Ham (amateur) radio has always been the place for the electronics/radio/hobby person who wonders "Is this possible ?" to go try and find out. Starting from the time when the government spectrum regulators first gave great gobs of frequency bands to amateur radio ... because nobody knew how to use them yet, and they were thought to be relatively worthless for communication. Today, that region of the spectrum begins roughly at the upper frequency edge of the AM broadcast band ! The evolution of radio equipment and the expansion of RF communication, from the very beginning up until about World War II, was accomplished mainly by ham radio people. Communication techniques that include 'short wave', voice, FM, 'teletype', single sideband, TV, phase modulation, and data packet, were developed, built, and first used by hams, before they were picked up by 'mainstream' industry. During roughly the past 20 years, two of the main challenges that have been tackled by amateur radio operators ... many using home-built electronics and antennas ... are: -- communicating through artificial satellites carrying amateur radio repeaters -- communicating by reflecting their signals from the moon. Both methods share two of the same purposes: 1). Use the satellite or the moon to extend the range of communication between me and somebody in a distant place, when we could not normally hear each other over the usual ground or ionospheric signal paths. 2). Find out for myself whether I can do it !
Is amateur radio dying out?
No, it is not dying out. in fact, with the growth of the Internet, it has become accessible to a wider range of people and the opposite is in fact true. it has even become incredibly easy to set up. all you need is radio automation software (Eg. Mixxx), Lame Encoder, and a server. just go to caster beta and you will find all the instructions, and its all free. it is now only costing people as much as the Internet costs to stream it all. In my opinion, Amateur radio is fading because of the Internet, and other forms of communication that do not require a license. The simple truth is that the only fading is with appliance operators, glorified CB users with a license. Those numbers are fading, but not fast enough. The true radio amateur is an operator for life. There is much more to amateur radio than simple talk. Streaming over the Internet is not amateur radio, even though many use it. When conditions warrant, you will see the true amateur radio operators handling emergency communication, supplementing our local government emergency communication's. The internet will not be anywhere in site when that happens.
