The Story

A celebration of a life lived on the moon

'Earth Moon Earth: Remembering a Moonbounce Pioneer' is a celebration of Dr. Allen Katz's life and legacy. Dr. Katz helped pioneer moonbounce — an amateur radio technique that involves sending signals all the way to the moon and back.

He popularized moonbounce among ham radio operators and built a robust global community, all while earning 17 patents and teaching engineering to 2,000+ students across a 50-year career in education.

Sadly, Dr. Katz died in 2024. 'Earth Moon Earth' is a tribute film — a love letter from a daughter to her dad.
