Oh hey I have that same ham radio! Kenwood TS-2000. I guess I just need a giant radio telescope...

A cross polarized Yagi can do EME bounce as well. You need an az/el rotator to track the moon though.

You can skip the elevation if you don't mind being limited to working when the moon is near the horizon. You don't need to deal with polarization if the far side can handle it.
