Looking at the horizon, the moon is mostly moving normal to the line of 
sight.  The primary Doppler source is likely to be the rotation of 
Earth, which at the equator is about 0.5km/sec

0.5 km/s /300,000 km/s * 21E6 Hz = 35 Hz...

Tonno is not quite at the equator(!), so the Doppler is likely less
