I have posted an evidence. I may be wrong. but yet you can't even prove me wrong. And where is your evidence that supports this?
Please verify that the moon can bounce radio waves. You have yet to do that. All you seem to be able to do is make things up or put the burden of proof on others. I've destroyed what little "evidence" was in this thread and now all you can do is ask me to prove you wrong. Prove what wrong? You haven't posted anything. You just keep posting "prove me wrong" as if that's a real response. Either post some more real evidence or I will cease paying attention to this thread, since I've already defeated its topic.
See that shifting there? Merely claiming that evidence isn't good is not meeting your burden. You must demonstrate it, much like Cartesian has by showing you how moon bounce works, why we can trust amateurs and why pointing it at the moon does indeed indicate that the bounce comes from that source.
Read the thread before posting, please.
I think the fact that a lot of amateur radio operators have done "Moon Bounce" is evidence enough.
Of course you can say they are all liars and any information you would get from them, any Amateur Radio Club or organization or the ARRL would be all lies, too. FE has said all astronauts are liars, too. There must be a vast conspiracy in the Amateur Radio groups to make up all those "Moon Bounce" fantasies and make all the figures agree with each other ?
I think what Rushy is trying to say is he wouldn't believe in "Moon Bounce" unless there was someone on the moon with an antenna and a receiver to verify the signal got to the moon. But the purpose of "Moon Bounce" was to see if you could send a signal to the moon, use the moon as a reflector and then see if you could receive the reflected signal back on earth. The time required for the "round trip" proved the signal had indeed traveled to the moon and back since the computations agreed with the known distance from the earth to the moon.
Also the astronomers at the observatories who got their measurements with lasers and reflectors on the moon must be liars, too , in Rushy's mind . The lists of liars grows day by day. LOL.
Would you also include the Federal Communications Commission as liars, too ? All those licenses and examinations are fakes, too and the FCC just issue licenses to make money for whatever purpose they wish ?
I think it's stupid to debate with Rushy. He is obviously just trolling. I don't think anyone could be that stupid. As I said, it's so stupid it's funny. Just like this thread started out.
I will concede that many people aren't familiar with radio theory, but Rushy doesn't even seem to want to know how things really work. I'm not a psychiatrist, so I'm not even going to think why he thinks that way.
I don't know, maybe it's just a case of any FE.: Delusion and denial.
Let's face it, the truth of the matter and the evidence is simply : The earth is round (or spherical, oblate spherical or whatever) the distance from the earth to the moon is about 237,150 miles and the moon is about 2,150 miles in diameter. As Sergeant Joe Friday of the old "Dragnet" program on TV would say, "Just the facts, Ma'am !"
To Rushy:
Oh, BTW, did you ever look up to see what "QRT" means ?
I'm just guessing but I think I know what your answer would be : " I don't know, I don't care what it means and I don't want to know what it means !"
I put that "QRT" in the discussion since it is somewhat topical in that it's part of Amateur Radio communications . I'm not going to answer my own question. I am going to leave "the burden of proof" with you to look it up for yourself.
