That makes no sense at all.... If the bridge was reflecting the signal,
how would adsorbing that same signal cause it to travel beyond the
bridge? If the Bridge was left unpainted RF should go beyond the bridge
and any targets past it would come back later, in the Time Domain, and
be displayed as farther away.
