Strange story,
But I suppose you will tell us that the noise level=antenna temperature, is
lower when looking up to the moon, than when looking at the horiziont. In
the latter case your antenna temperature will not be lower than 145 K ( half
of the antenna aperture sees the 290 K earth) and in practice your stations
noise temperature will be in the order of 290 K, implying an S-meter
deviation of S2 in 2,5 kHz bandwidth. Elevating the antenna, the noise
temperature will be much lower and your S-meter will deviate less. That
probably gives you the indication of weaker copyable signals. But in both
cases you deal with the same thermal noise, so still S/S+N determines your
reception.

comparison: I did SSB QSO on the moon with signal strengthes that never
would have allowed a SSB QSO on terrestrial pathes. Just when I remeber my
only 23cm SSB with G4CCH, that signal on terrestrial would not even have
been noticed.
