Can I Hear The Moon With A Coffee Can?

I tried listening to Earth-Moon-Earth (EME or Moonbounce) communications with some of my signature cheap satellite junk! It wasn't all that sucessful, but I did see some faint signals that might have been ham radio EME on 23cm. This is a project I'll have to come back to some day when I have better equipment!

Some of the things I mentioned in this video are:
