You are about 75% water and Xband resonates with the water molecules - so you
will show up as a radar target.

Actually the water frequency is in the K band (24 GHz). Just the opposite, it absorbs
electromagnetic waves. Birds, bees, etc, show up well on many wavelengths, down
to the L Band (1 GHz), and they show up because of their combined mass.

He's right Walt, you musta been thinking of something different
there.

Because water molecules resonate at ~24 gHz it absorbs the RF
energy (therefore won't reflect it). That's why microwave ovens
use that frequency.


Microwave ovens 2.45GHz


Yes, sorry, missed the dot, 2.4 GHz
