Thanks for this interesting article!
I have a minor addition to footnote 2: although the 1946 experiment was the first intentional radar reflection off the moon, such a reflection was accidentally already detected in 1943. See https://www.pa3fwm.nl/technotes/annex/cqdl-7-79-eme.html, where I host a copy of a German article about this, and my English translation.
