Zoltan Bay Moon Radar 80th Anniversary Activity
Radiaoamateurs all around the globe link Zoltan Bay's (1900-1992) name with successful Hungarian Moon radar experiment. On the 6th of February in 1946 Bay and
his colleagues in Tungsram Lighting radiated radio signal towards the moon then successfully detected their own extremely weak reflected signal. In fact, they detected
the Earth Moon Earth echo. The main challenge of the experiment was to extract the 120mHz reflected signal from the noise. They solved it by applying signal repetition
and signal addition.
80 years ago the Moon became our reflector.
The Hungarian Radio Amateur Society (MRASZ) is organizing a radio activity by operating special event callsigns to honor the 80th anniversary of Zoltan Bay and his
team's Moon Radar experiment. Look for the following Callsigns: HG80BAY, HG80MOON, HG80EARTH, HG80EME, HG80LUNA and HG80RADAR. Activity Period:
