Is this true? If so, is there any evidence to back it up?

I was watching "Hanger 1 : The UFO Files" episode "far side of the moon", a show on the history channel that is led by MUFON. Ancient Aliens really lost its credibility for me, but this show actually seems credible. At least when one considers that the information is put into an entertainment format.
To the issue at hand : The episode claimed amateur HAM radio operators heard unedited audio of Apollo 11's moon landing. The unedited live audio mentioned comments regarding UFOs.
Is this true? If so, is there any evidence to back it up? I did a light search on the forums, but all the sources I looked into had led me to conspiracy websites, conspiracy books, or youtube videos.
Sorry If this has been thoroughly discussed before on another thread, I could not locate anything with a clear conversation about this specific topic.

Of all the "then" incredible equipment I used when I was in the service, my DD-214 says I was a "Radio Operator" as most was classified. ( wow, some radios!). I did a bit of HAM on the side, as an interest. Everyone that I knew that did HAM, had a tape recorder at the ready, in case you caught something interesting and/or pushed a CQ to collaborate about it with others.
With the claims that HAM's did pick up what is being discussed, I find it extremely odd that there is nothing on tape to listen to.
They are always recreations, with simulated dialog. Where is the beef if this would be true?
Ham radios have never been that prevalent so why is prevalence relevant to Ham radio operators?

Sounds like a generous, kind friend who tells you the kinds of fables he knows you'd enjoy. You're lucky.
How did he explain why he happened to be there then? There weren't any public tours.

Well there was always the ..... o wait....

This person worked for NASA at the time, and for many years. In a higher capacity than you, perhaps.
Then again, maybe you were there in mission control that day too?

I echo Kandinsky's point -- find us any one such amateur radio operator. Just one verifiable name?
Anywhere on the whole planet. Recall that Asia/Australia was facing the moon at the time of the moonwalk, the pictures were relayed to the US from Australia.
Otherwise, it remains made-up legends.
