How is it possible that /no/ credible evidence that the Apollo program was a hoax has surfaced by now? All I have seen is speculation, elevated to "evidence" in the eyes of some beholders by confirmation bias.
I assume you guys are well aware that a number of hams/RF hackers successfully received the downlinks from the Apollo missions at the moon. This includes one well documented case of a guy who built a big enough VHF array to intercept the actual VHF voice link between the LEM and the Command module... and several folks who saw both LEM and Command module S band downlinks and recovered voice. Doing so was well within the capabilities of individual techy hams of the era, at least those who had access to a decent sized dish (not uncommon for EME "moonbounce" back then) ... and some RF engineering background. -- Dave Emery N1PRE/AE, die@dieconsulting.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass 02493 "An empty zombie mind with a forlorn barely readable weatherbeaten 'For Rent' sign still vainly flapping outside on the weed encrusted pole - in celebration of what could have been, but wasn't and is not to be now either."
