There's gotta be a way to turn those things into a homebrew radar and
re-sell them for a couple thousand bucks. Now how do I get that magnetron
out???

JUST KIDDING...

Theoretically, it's possible, but you'd need a good feedhorn and antenna,
and maybe a load isolator. And you'd need a complete whole new power
supply, to make pulses that's work as radar. Getting the maggie out is
trivial - just unbolt it. The sheet metal duct between
it and the chamber is the waveguide. Couple that to a feedhorn, and put
it at the focus of your satellite dish, and mount the dish on a different
gimbal, (i.e., don't point it at the satellite!) and voila! Home radar!
Is not the interesting point to point (it) AT the milsat?

Another big win for Al Quaeda.

I did read in the paper that some UK guys gained control of a mil satellite
and changed its position...

Crazy isn't it? I just bought a DVD player for my grandson for $35 at
Best Buy.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
