"I've done goofed and tried to talk about a subject I myself don't understand at all, as a result, I have no idea what your response to my topic even means. Rather than formulate a proper response, I'm going to shift the focus of the topic to you calling these guys and then get mad when you don't because you totally just got done explaining why my topic is hilariously wrong." -OP
I'm just going to keep posting this over and over. I'm done with this thread and will remain to be so until you actually verify your claims. To any others who read this, note that Googleotomy has no idea what he is talking about. Note he can't explain anything on his own and just wants FE'ers to call other people, so other people can explain what he can't, which is that what he saying is baloney by any standards and laughable by even the scientific community.
I've been bumping this thread from time to time just to keep it alive.
And I might add mostly for the entertainment value. It is intereresting to see what the next nonsense that an FE is going to post is going to be.
I just happen to be an amateur radio operator. (Duly licensed by the Federal Communications Commission) And I know very well what I am talking about. Even if you apparently don't seem to know, Rushy ? In my working days (I'm retired) I was also required to hold a First Class Commercial Radio License with Radar Endorsement. These are my credentials.
It is a very simple explanation, which I will repeat for the umpteenth time unless you didn't get it for the umpteenth time. :
1.You aim an antenna at the moon.
2.Then you transmit a signal.
3.Then you wait and listen for a return of your signal on your receiver.
4.Then you note the time between transmission and reception.
4.Then using the time interval you take into account that you divide the time in half for the time for the "one way" distance .
5.Then you mulitply the time by the speed of radio waves.
6. Then you compute the distance to the moon and that's it.
Admittedly, it does take some sophisticated antennas, transmitters and receivers, but the principle is very simple. The math is very simple, but apparently not to some FE's from some of the postings at the very beginning of this subject. Read some of them. ROFLOL !
The equation is also very simple: d=vt
Where d is the distance in miles; v is the speed of radio waves (186,000 miles per second) and t is the time (1.275 seconds)
If you don't take my word for it or my explanation, you can verify the evidence by talking to any
other amateur radio operator or even with anyone at an observatory. This is a fact with has been proven by the observatories and amateur radio operators. There is plenty of evidence available from any of those sources garygreen, others and I have listed.
Rushy's only defense would seem to be that all of those persons and all those sources are just lies from liars. Just like most of the defense put up by any FE's on plain facts and evidence posted on this forum.
It seems obvious this is just a gross case of trolling. Just like this subject started from the very first.
The fact is .: "Moon Bounce" and the results are obvious evidence and the results concur with those of those made by the more precise methods of the observatories. There is nothing "just made up" on this subject.
This gets more tedious the longer this thread goes on. I'm just continuing for the sake of argument.
Ho Hum ! It seems that on this forum, you can post facts and figures until you're blue in the face, but FE's are so close minded that you'll never get through to them . It's really rather sad. Or it's so sad it gets to be funny after a while ? Or is it so funny it's really sad ?
Off topic trivia. : Has anyone on this forum ever been to Delgadillo's Snow Cap in Seligman, Arizona ?
A lady tourist from Wales once said "Don't go there if you have had a sense of humour transplant."
I think the same applies to this forum . Don't go to the Flat Earth Society Forum if you don't have a sense of humour.....For any FE reply, that is ?
I've attempted to explain this to Rushy, but maybe I haven't made it simple enough for him to understand, so maybe I need to do some more work on it.
Sigh !!!! And I thought it was so simple and straighforward anyone could understand how "Moon Bounce" works and how hams were able to compute the distance from the earth to the moon.
