 Here is a link for ham radio folk about EME or moonbounce radio.  The path loss in best case scenarios is very high.
 

 Can someone who knows more RF electronics theory such as Ole or Hector please comment as to how this is overcome with 1000 watt input transmitter when the maximum theoretical S/N ratio and 252 db PL should require transmitters larger than AM radio stations.
 

 I must be missing something.  Also checking the amateur radio sites for an answer.
 

 

 Thanks,
 Mick
