Dear Jack: Thank you for your great comments. Let’s find the problems and find the solutions. We solved the difficulties for working AO-10 and AO-13. The Moon is the Next Generation.
Lets work together to find an affordable solution. Which band will work the best (assuming limited antenna and power recourses from an Un-manned Moon lander.) The Moon will not be an “Easy-Sat”, it will be a challenge. However, it should be much easier to access than true EME.
