Will I hear anything from the moon tomorrow? Your guess is as good as mine.

Looks good Mark, hope you hear them.

Unfortunately for my QTH it is geometrically impossible for Arecibo to illuminate the moon while it is above the horizon here (because of its limited elevation tracking).

I wonder how well the folded monopole feed works? Would be interesting to check the symmetry of the antenna pattern in the H-plane. Does it represent a good match to the feedline?
