But wouldn't harmonics of the residual radar signature
in the DF bearings interfere with the MMA Vert's
directivity? I've read that it can take several years
for the nano-oscillations in them to die down after
being exposed to such an intense radar field, such as
the one that was dismantled. You're talking about that
transpolar over-the-horizon site they deactivated, right?
That baby put out a doozy of a signature!

Please do! I'd be up for a few of those! If I can find
room for them, that is. Thanks for the offer!
