Which of the following is a method for establishing EME contacts?
- A.Time-synchronous transmissions alternating between stations (correct answer)
- B.Storing and forwarding digital messages
- C.Judging optimum transmission times by monitoring beacons reflected from the moon
- D.High-speed CW identification to avoid fading
WhyEME contacts are typically established using time-synchronous transmissions that alternate between stations. EME contacts are typically established using time-synchronous transmissions, where each station transmits and listens during precisely coordinated, alternating time windows synchronized to a shared clock, since the moon's round-trip delay and the weak signal levels make a normal back-and-forth exchange impractical, answer A. Store-and-forward messaging, timing transmissions off a reflected beacon, and high-speed CW identification aren't how modern EME contacts are actually made.
