Hello Luc Leblanc,
Yes, the signals received by Roland, PY4ZBZ demonstrate in practice the article by Domenico, I8CVS.
Thanks for reply

Hi Piraja , PS8RF
I have heard the wav CW file of PY4ZBZ receiving Arecibo on 22/03/2010 at 21:30 UTC in 432.045 MHz with only a small UHF antenna for 6 elements and a simple FT1000d transceiver.

I am happy that the above result demontrates in practice my article because the CW signal is barely audible into the noise.
I was not able to hear the SSB wav file because my PC says that the file comes to me corrupted.

If you send to me both wav files I will measure instrumentally the real (S+N)/N and S/N for a more precise analysis.
By the way as I stated in my article the reception of Arecibo using a small hand-held yagi pointed at the moon is very difficult "but not impossible"
Congratulations to Roland PY4ZBZ
