Moon Bounce | Echoes of Apollo
The above link for the "Echoes of Apollo" website cites June 27th as World Moon Bounce Day.
Coordinating talent like this is a good thing. Think of it as a modern type of Field Day. After all, hams don't get to use radio telescopes in a daily basis just we don't all use emergency communications on a daily basis.
Looks like there will be ways to participate even if you don't have a super UHF station.

Looks like we have one of our own participating ... my guess is WD5AGO from right here in Broken Arrow. This will be quite an addition to the other Field Day activity! Look at the partial list of participants from the article:
"Although we have not announced the list of big dishes, here is a snap shot of those confirming that they have joined the event in the last 24 hours alone:
* One Swiss amateur radio operator has agreed to take part with a large dish.
* Another operator from Alaska in the US is building his own small dish with high power output and is accelerating his project to be ready for World EME Day (We think “World Moon Bounce Day” sounds like more fun).
* A 22 meter (70ft) dish from the Moorehead State Space Sciences facility in the USA.40_year_image2
* A 9m (32ft) dish in New Mexico, USA.
* An 8m(28ft) dish in Oklahomah, USA (with a full 1500 w transmit power).
* Queensland, West of Brisbane, Australia - dish size unknown.
* 10 meter (33ft) dish, Millicent, South Australia.
* 8m (28ft) dish, Espanola New Mexico USA."
