🌚 Am I speaking with the Moon?

This is a live moon-bouncing event with radio amateur and moon-bouncing enthusiast Jan van Muijlwijk. Moonbouncing is a radio technology that uses the moon as a reflection surface to bounce radio waves off. Jan van Muijlwijk has had more than 9000 successful moonbouncing contacts and reached 118 countries with his home-built radio telescope. He was also actively involved in restoring the Dwingeloo radio telescope, the largest and oldest radio telescope worldwide, which is solely used by radio amateurs.

At this introduction event, artist Leonie Brandner will present her project Moonhorn, along with her collaboration with opera singer Nina Guo and Jan van Muijlwijk.

Live connection with Dwingeloo from HMK
Jan will be present at Dwingeloo radio telescope and give us a little introduction to moon bouncing, and give us the unique opportunity to demonstrate live moonbouncing: we can do experiments by sending our voices to the moon and back.
