And if you can, while doing this, do it also for a green laser, you know
reflect off of the lunar reflectors the Apollo gang left on the surface?
And say a 10" diameter scope on the recieve end?
I wonder how large the beam gets by the time it gets to the moon with a
typical good quality green laser?

According to this path loss is a lot less than I expected:

~206db at 1.2GHz .... assuming a 384403KM trip
you're still going to need some hardware .... but I think it's doable ....

In trying to keep up with technology, the Houston AMSAT Net will now
take check ins by Tweeting using the hash tag #houamsatnet 0200 UTC
during the winters on Wednesdays (8PM Central Time)
Be one of the first on your block to check in electronically. Of course,
you can still use one of these:
IRC, APRS, EchoLink, Telephone, E-mail or voice on the repeater directly.
I would use Facebook but I have a thing against giving out all that
information publicly. My Facebook account has been active for a long,
long time and I have no friends. Not a one. In fact, once every year or
two I check to see if it is still there. I think I have broken the
Facebook record for the longest running account without a friend. Too
easy for bad things to happen with Facebook.

I personally suggested carrier pigeons for check-in at the 2013 Symposium.
It is certainly a unique net with all the various methods of check-in
available.

Might I suggest the hashtag #amsat since it's likely more used and would

I use a 4 element quad...HOWEVER.. it receives 29.45mhz better off the back

I've tried AO7-A a number of times, but there's never anyone there to work.
?
Back in the glory days of the RS Birds, Mode A was very active. I sure do
miss them. They worked very well!

Use what you have to begin with!
I made one QSO via Mode A with AC0RA back in September using a just a
one meter diameter AlexLoop Walkham Portable Magnetic Loop on the
downlink. One thing to remember is that the receiver on Mode A is not
as sensitive as Mode B, so you need higher EIRP than on Mode B, probably
around 100 watts or so, for a decent downlink signal.
Audio of the middle of the pass is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJwmIKr1BZI
Keep in mind that I'm a mile southwest of the Capitol in Washington, DC.
There are lots of buildings and lots of noise sources nearby. In the
middle of a lesser populated area, I bet I'd receive a pretty good
signal with this antenna. The QSO occurs about the 4 minute mark of the
video, with the satellite at about 60 degrees of elevation. I don't
think I was pointing my Arrow high enough while fiddling with
everything, but even then, with about 20-25 watts EIRP on 2 meters, the
downlink signal is going to be a bit weak.

David Jordan,
Are you out there in bb land?
Here is a link to the video of our ARISS contact
at the NASA GSFC Visitor Center that I was
trying to recall for you the other day in
Houston. The ham astronauts on board ISS
were Suni ("Sunny") Williams and Aki Hoshide
("Ah-KEY HO-shih-day").
We spoke with Aki.
This is the shorter version, FYI:

P.S. Suni and Aki came and visited us and
the kids after they returned from their
Expedition. How cool!

Is there some kind of participation credit?
