Ray Rector, WA4NJP, one of the undisputed masters of Earth-Moon-Earth (EME, or "moonbounce") communications, welcomes several SETI League members to his station. The tour, in conjunction with the first annual Southeastern VHF Conference, took place on 6 April 1997. SETI League photo

This homebrew 11-meter dish is currently being used at WA4NJNP for 432 MHz EME. During the VHF Conference tour, CW echoes were clearly copyable over the background conversations in the crowded shack. SETI League photo
