Steve you can add my witness of the Lunar orbiter signal on S-band received on a ten foot comm dish that my supervisor with JPL set up in his yard using a diode mixer and a microwave signal generator for LO. The signal exhibited expected Doppler shift and every 20-minutes or so it dropped out (occulted by the Moon as the orbiter orbited behind). This was not Apollo-11 but one of the other missions afterward, to memory (long time ago - 1971). We both worked at Goldstone tracking facility back then. We only detected the carrier since the dish was insufficient size for recovering the modulated signal. 73, Ed - KL7UW (then K8MWA/K6) _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
