Default Radar Arc's and blips, the answer

We used to point them at the moon and pulse them, manually,
while feeding a signal generator into the test repeater

(display) so
it would keep sweeping. That way you could count the number of

sweeps
and measure the distance to the moon! You could actually

measure the
difference over time in the moon's distance with it. Cool

stuff.


Larry,
We those pulses a CQ????? :-p
