But with the Soviets playing cat and mouse, what else could we do.Gpacharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899629492778221889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-75945856598359074702013-02-06T00:30:53.763-08:002013-02-06T00:30:53.763-08:00I love it when physics works (like it always does)...I love it when physics works (like it always does).<br /><br />I'm not very worried about the radar energy, it starts out horizontal at the top of a tower, after all.<br /><br />Unsurprisingly, we also see the same effects in atmospheric acoustics, which I have some understanding of.<br /><br />I did know a couple of people who were stationed at the old "DEW" line in Canada/Alaska. No, you did NOT walk in front of their over-the-horizon antennas.audioskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696374655495133407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-52962816735410846892013-02-04T12:57:53.225-08:002013-02-04T12:57:53.225-08:00I am curious why the comments section of the blog ...I am curious why the comments section of the blog does not appear on my iPhone app. I enjoy reading the feedback.Gpacharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899629492778221889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-8702696319843383912013-02-04T12:55:51.845-08:002013-02-04T12:55:51.845-08:00Thankfully having the radar beam(s) above our head...Thankfully having the radar beam(s) above our heads + The inverse square law for radiation where for every X feet the power is halved, we little people are probably very safe from this type of microwave radiation. Though it seems to me that some clever electronics at the receiver and display circuitry should be able to compensate for differing weather? The vertical radar is also a clever idea, though I would hate to be the seagull flying through that beam at radar level.Gpacharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899629492778221889noreply@blogger.com
