   When I was closer to the subject I saw a lot of chatter about how easy it   
   would be to take down an AWACS or JStars. It looks like they were right, in   
   reverse.   
      
   OTH radar operates at CB radio and WW2 radar frequencies, like Chain Home.   
   General George Kenney, who was in command of the district and technically   
   educated, wrote that unexpectedly distant OTH returns caused the "Battle of   
   Los Angeles" scare. More recently a US early warning radar triggered an   
   alarm by detecting the rising moon.

   Changing the frequency between pulses allows distinguishing the latest pulse   
   return from delayed previous ones.
