Using Radar, or Radio Waves to measure the distance between the ground and Moon.
Vitalux:
Hello Flat Earth Society ...this is my first post and I am so pleased that this website exists. It feels like I have found a community of like minded souls.
I did research a bit of this question beforehand and was unable to really find any definitive answers. I did read another older thread dealing with the moon distance
re: " Distance from the Earth to the Moon ? Ham Radio vs. Flat Earth Measurements."
However the thread got so derailed and off topic that I failed to find the answer to the original posters question.
So here is my question. :)
With all the technology we possess today, has anyone ever demonstrated by use of Radar, or measurement of light, or radio waves the height of the Sun, or Moon?
One would think it would be easy if they moon is just a thousand miles or so high above us. :-\
After all, I imagine that maritime radar or other types of distance ranging equipment could easily target and evaluate a target a thousand or so miles away. :-\

Proves the moon far away, and it proves man was on the moon.
iWitness:
They can't even accurately calculate the distance of something a few miles away using a Laser let alone 300,000 miles.
Tell me... What is the most accurate commercially available Laser Rangefinder on the market today? Surely it is more accurate than something from 1962? What is the maximum distance of one of the Laser Range finders? What's the longest most accurate distance recorded on earth using one of these Laser Range finders?

What about radar?
