Here is are a couple of videos by the acclaimed Apollo researcher J. White...
We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

In July of 1969 a ham radio operator and amateur radio-astronomer by the name of Larry Baysinger, W4EJA, accomplished an amazing feat. He independently detected radio transmissions from the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface.

For 35 minutes, Larry and his friend, Glenn Rutherford, Science Writer for the Louisville Courier-Journal, were able to receive and tape audio conversations between the three astronauts using equipment cobbled together from a variety of sources, originally pieced together in order to experiment with radio astronomy and the reception of weather satellites.

At least two different radio amateurs, W4HHK and K2RIW, reported reception of Apollo 16 signals with home-built equipment.

On December 10, 1972 we picked up our first signals on S-band. The main carrier was 45 dB over noise and the voice subcarrier was 25 dB over noise. Apollo 17 passed. over the lunar disc between 1722 and 1819.10 local time (2222-2319 UT), and we measured a total Doppler frequency shift of 43 kHz. The next day the lunar module landed on the Moon and at 1518 local time we picked up main carrier and telemetry from the surface of the moon some 80 minutes after touchdown. Unfortunately the astronauts soon changed to low power which prevented us from getting voice signals because of the too low signal-to-noise ratio. The lunar module transmitted on 2282.5 MHz, but we decided to shift back to the frequency of the command module in lunar orbit, i.e. 2287.5 MHz. The lone astronaut Evans was not very talkative except when he just appeared in front of the Moon or just before he disappeared behind it. At such times he changed to high power and on December 11 we could pick up our first voice signals from the Moon. At 1722.00 local time (2222 UT) Ron Evans said: "'Standby three zero" and at l722.30, i.e. 30 seconds later, we abruptly lost the signal as the spacecraft swung, around the edge of the Moon.

Here's the rest of the article:

In the early days of the space race, the Jodrell Bank observatory had the best steerable radio telescope available outside Russia, in a location that permitted tracking Soviet satellites. As a result, Lovell established a reputation as the Western world's foremost interpreter of Soviet space exploits—a reputation that he has maintained by using the skillful public-relations techniques demonstrated at Jodrell Bank last week.

One of the cornerstones of the Apollo hoaxers tales:
"Soviets were able to track and watch it" is demolished.
It is nothing but the conspiracy tale spinning;
so "до свидания, пропагадисты" as Jarrah said.

In the first video analyzed the claim (underwritten by Leonov) that
the stations in or near Moscow have received live TV from the Apollo 11 'moonwalk'.

Since you have failed to understand this argument, can you present the recordings of this live TV session?

Good lord.
Man went to the moon, there was no hoax.
It is not a matter for debate on the intricacies of the arguments people have put forward. They clearly meant well when doing so but have given these morons who believe it didnt happen more credibility than their banal rhetoric warrants.

So why the constellation program got canceled if we are so called experts going to the moon?
How come no other country can send a man to the moon, but it seems only the USA can? Russia tried and their two astronauts died on the way there.
Also funny how NASA states to this day that space flight is dangerous, but we had no problems going there with the exception of Apollo 13 when they actually tried to go.

There are so many discrepancies in regards to the moon landings it is ignorant to make such a sweeping statement.
It made sense for the USSR to let the US do its thing because they knew that they would need their help in the future. This is the whole reason that Japan,China haven't blown the whistle its all about keeping the cards close to the chest and seeing what they can get out of it.

So every person in the USSR, the US, China and Japan involved in their space programs have kept their mouths shut? How does that happen?

BS on the money part. They spent less in the 50's and got it done.
