ATC radar will pick up cars as well. Modern radars have the ability to map
out such unwanted returns. It appears as if the weather radar in question
hasn't been properly optimized.

So, are you saying the car wasn't doing 130 mph as the article indicates?

Perhaps as much as you're saying you don't possess even rudimentary
reading skills by asking him a question that was in no way implied by
his reply.

Radar optimization would 'teach' the radar which returns are to be
ignoredi .e., a return at such and such azimuth and speed is to be
tracked or not.

And whats the big deal about 130? My old 750 Suzi would do that and
did a couple of times.

"Testosterone is the most dangerous substance known to man (and woman)."

Do you happen to have any of your own?

I've never had it checked, but since I know its effects, I can actively
compensate for them.

No, you don't have any testosterone of your own, although of course you're
not a physician, physiologist, or pilot, so it really doesn't matter. You
also should look up the definition and limitations of aircraft in the
"experimental category" before spouting your usual ludicrous bull****.
