Hi all,

One thing that I was wondering recently is this: why, with all of the
varied and interesting amateur radio operation modes, do we not see
amateur radar, either weather radar or air-surveillance radar? Yes, I
know about the small doppler speed-only units by Ramsey but I'm talking
about  someting that provides both speed and range.

Compared to EME or some of the satelite modes, it really wouldn't require
very sophistocated equipment.

After an extensive search on the net, I only found one reference to this,
and IIRC it was a question on an amateur radio newsgroup about whether it
was legal to do, and the consensus was yes. It would seem to me that it
would be leagal, too, since pulsed modes are allowed on amateur radio
bands which are right next to bands used by both the FAA and National
Weather Service.
