I'd say file under #3724... conductive isn't the same as reflective.

Conductive short wires are far better than just reflective scatterers
like rocks. Ever heard of "chaff" or "window" ... short conductors
released as radar reflectors to decoy antiaircraft weapons.

Conductors can make the best reflectors. Short wires, near the
wavelength of the radar transmission act as antennas and would create a
mirror like reflection, very effective as a radar reflector.

Don't know why it can't be done. Probably some manufacturing or
durability issues. Maybe a separate mesh sheet of the material could be
hoisted just for night sailing?
