The radio sport of moon bouncing
Moon bouncing--sending ham radio signals to the moon and back--is a big story for The Anchorage Daily News, based in an area far more attuned to atmospheric signals. The article quotes Allen Katz, 63, a professor of electronic engineering at The College of New Jersey, calling moon bouncing a "technology sport." "People do it for the challenge," Katz said. "Why do people climb Mount McKinley? Because it's difficult."
