Larry, does this mean my poorly designed oscillator will behave like
an active radar reflector?


No! Your poorly designed oscillator will behave just the opposite.....

A reflector makes you BIGGER as a target on someone's radar.

Your oscillator will make you INVISIBLE in the CW noise it creates when
their antenna is pointed in your direction....


The Japanese painted a bridge with radar absorbing paint, probably
Ironball. This was so that ships radar would be able to see past the
bridge.
