On nice clear days could you bounce CB signals off the moon?

Shockwave, if u have the pic...it is appriciated !
@Ratsow8:
in aspect to eme...and telling the difference.
if the signal needs to reach the moon..it would be nice if the "layers" dont reflect the signal back to earth of course.
There are more than one ways to tell the difference the obvious:
1- the delay in signal
2- the azimuth elevation angle of your antenna system.
But most importantly as mentioned...you do not want your signal to be bounched back by a layer, this is something you need to prevent (critical angle / time of the day / sunspots etc)
Bare in mind...this is something you can not do with a vertical and a couple watts.
You will need a very serious station. Preferebly over a couple Kw and a beam with at least say...1.5wavelength boom and up. Besides...some knowledge of computers tracking jst65 etc is welcomed as well.
But it is fun to watch. If you want you can receive your first EME signals on VHF with relative simple equipment. There are really big guns there...
