Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
MoonRF is an open-source communications hardware and software initiative that enables public access to space communications technology. The project's first product is a low-cost digital phased array kit capable of transmitting signals across 40 MHz bandwidth in the C-band (4.9–6 GHz), designed to allow people to bounce signals off the Moon for global communication.
