The astronauts were in low-earth orbit. That accounts for that signal.

No it doesn't.

1) There were several ground stations recieving signals at the same time.
2) The ground stations would have noticed if the signal wasn't coming
from
the general direction of the moon.
3) They astronaughts couldn't have stayed on a line between the recieving
station and the moon as there were multiple ground stations.

At the very least one geostationary sat would have been required per
ground
station.

Where is the moon's L1 ? (duh! general direction of the moon?)

But the earth moon L1 isn't exactly "low earth orbit" now is it.

Is that a trick question?

Making their mission turn-around within the moon's L1 still isn't
quite the same thing as a controlled deorbit from 100+ km, safely down-
range to a soft landing and of walking moonsuit butt naked on the
physically dark and nasty moon, now is it.
