Default Radar Arc's and blips, the answer

Oh, we had no trouble seeing the reflection from a short pulse train
pointed at the moon. We simply kept the repeater scanning
300-600-900-1200 on the 300 mile range, its maximum, until the pulse
showed up. Count the number of scans X 300 miles and add in the
repeater's range to that to get the moon's distance. The return was
quite strong.

I was thinking of moonbounce. The moon, I believe is -54db
passive reflector and with that power, there should have been a
bit coming back. Old Paul Wilson did it with a lot less on 2
mtrs.
