for the sake of conversation what would a link budget look like for a transponder on the moon? Say for L & S band, get out the old AO-40 gear! (sobsob). Still rebuilding all antenna systems, includes digging holes, mixing concrete, welding, gin poles, trying to convince xyl etc.

It can have all the cool educational outreach and training opportunities associated with it. Let's encourage the AMSAT leadership teams to move quickly. We can do it, don't you think?
