Scientific paper

On February 6, 1946, Zoltan Bay (1946) and coworkers, using a modified reconnaissance radar at 120 MHz, succeeded in detecting radar echoes from the moon. Without a crystal controlled system, a wide bandwidth was used in the receiver before detection, and reduction of bandwidth was performed after detection. The experiments were repeated many times, and all the feeble echo amplitudes were summed above the statistical sum of the noise amplitudes. About a thousand pulses had to be integrated over a period of 50 minutes. Integration was performed by a bank of switched voltmeters. This method would later prove useful in radio astronomy.
