Glad to see ham radio, and K1JT, get such good publicity, but I think the author is overestimating the difficulty of getting on EME. As Dave, W5UN, says on his web page, anyone with 100 watts and a good 10-element 2-meter yagi can do it.
From my old NJ QTH I worked 37 stations via 2-meter EME with a B1016 brick amp and a 19-element CushCraft Boomer, and that was on CW, long before Joe developed JT65.
Try it! You'll like it.

I'd give that article a better than average rating.
At least it's reasonably accurate/factual.
Nice to see the Stanford dish gets used for something.
