we used to do this all the time on 2 meters on fox hunts, to help confuse the hunters from finding the fox. it worked very well. so if it can work on 2 it has to work even better I would think on the higher freqs.

Subject: 144 Mhz contact made using ISS as passive reflector
What I want to try is taking the ubiquitous 3m satelite dish and point it at the local water tower, and then find another such ham to do the same, and see what kind of 2.4 GHz links we can establish...
We have a 600' tower across the river, and with a total of about 50 dB gain from the two dishes, it would seem to be a viable way of communicating.
Not much else to do with all these BUD's. Bob, WB4APR
