None that I know.

I'm sorry, the question was regarding googling echo returns from the moon?

Very good.  It's amazing how much trouble I have on the SETI list making people 
understand this.  Either ET must be tracking the earth with a directional 
antenna or ET must be using an isotropic radiator.

Note the Nipponese Ham was using 3.5 MHz.  Since free space attenuation (dB) is 
given by:

96.6 + 20 log (F) + 20 log (D)

the frequency component forces the use of directional antennae at higher, 
common radar frequencies.

Perhaps, but then, how do you explain the doppler shift?

He supposedly has the proof; but, "focusing" is a possibility.  Imagine you're 
a point source at the center of a 41 light hour radius reflective sphere.
