Next message: Eric Thompson: "lv-ab: Anchors"
Mark,
I have read "Practical Sailor" for years. The testing they
did in the September 1995 issue was done under controlled
condition at S.R.I. here on the S.F. peninsula. If you read
the August 15, 2001 issue they discuss these tests and the
need for reflectors to have dimensions large enough to
reflect the radar wavelengths in common use. 1.5 inches wide
would probably be invisible to all radar sets ( otherwise
the standing rigging would be a GREAT radar reflector ).
