No, there's very little loss from the atmosphere at 432 MHz. The 390 dB figure is a misunderstanding of how the path loss is calculated. The poster "wl" took the one way path loss (195 dB) and doubled it. But the moon is a huge reflector and provides "gain".
Here's a C program with the correct equation.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
double d, f, lambda, loss;
if (argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "usage: moon <km> <frequency(MHz)>\n");
exit(-1);
}
d = atof(argv[1]) * 1000.0;
f = atof(argv[2]);
lambda = 299792458.0 / (f * 1000000.0);
loss = (0.065 * (1.738e6 * 1.738e6) * (lambda * lambda)) / (631.65468167 * (d * d * d * d));
printf("EME path loss = %f dB\n", 10 * log10(loss));
return 0;
}
1.738e6 is the radius of the moon in meters and 0.065 is the reflection efficiency.
Satellites make moonbounce impracticable.
