This is a narrated compilation of videos taken on 10 January 2016 at a special event that commemorates the 70th Anniversary of the US Army Signal Corp's Project Diana. In addition to repeating a moonbounce at the exact time 70 years later, we also operated a few dozen amateur radio EME stations, a few of which are shown here.
