Time Nuts. The ultimate timing experiment.

Measuring the distance from my house to the moon.
Send a radio signal to the moon. Time how long it takes to get there, and then bounce back. Be sure to divide by 2.

True story have done it hundreds of times. also to all 50 states and 35 foreign countries around the world.

Google K0FF +EME That is K-#Zerro-FF. EME= Earth-moon-earth path.
