I’ve been drivin‘ all night my hand’s wet on the wheel
There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel
And my baby calls that she needs me here
It’s half past four and I’m shifting gear
When she gets lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin‘ in from above
We don’t need to talk at all
We got a thing that’s called radar love
We got a wave in the air
Radar Love----Golden Earing
Radar the cat sitting in some particularly good light.

I really like the Thailand rain radar website - I can look at the animated feed for Bangkok on my phone, updated every 5 minutes, and judge when to plan to move from place to place without getting wet. This morning, this frontal system was moving from south to north. Here it is arriving to Bangkok.
You can see this radar at the excellent Atlantikwall Raversyde Museum on the Belgian coast. The radar was modified and used as a radio telescope by astronomers after WWII. Seen in September 2021.
A radar site was erected within recent times and serves as a resting place for local vultures: Drug and gun smugglers do not pass on this side of the island....
Radar station, Titterstone, Clee Hills, Shropshire UK. The large radar dome on the left of the image is for the National Air Traffic Services and the smaller one is Meteorological office weather radar.
Well this is a first!
To any lead foot engineers on BNSF rails, be warned, the radar gun is out! At the west end of the Ballico, CA siding sits something you don't see everyday next to the rails, a portable radar trailer. A westbound BNSF drag freight slowly pulls out of the siding at 13 MPH, well within the speed limit.

This is my newest build for Andromeda's Gates.
M.A.N.T.I.S. is attacking a Kawashita radar station, to interrupt their interstellar communication.
Seaforth Radar Station, in the current form, was built in 1969 as a result of the construction of Royal Seaforth Dock.
The radar replaces the old radar station, which was on the northern sea wall of Gladstone dock, which was built and opened in 1948.

New York City and indeed Manhattan seems the least likely place for a museum of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and space. Yet here it is, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum at West 46th Street at 12th Avenue -- the west end of Midtown Manhattan.

Duga-3 (NATO reporting name Steel Yard) was a Soviet over-the-horizon radar system. It was developed for the Soviet ABM early-warning network. The system operated from 1976 to 1989. Its distinctive and mysterious shortwave radio signal came to be known in the west as the Russian Woodpecker.
Two stations of Duga-3 were installed: a western system around Chernobyl and an eastern system in Siberia.
The transmitter for the western Duga-3 was located a few kilometers southwest of Chernobyl (south of Minsk, northwest of Kiev). The receiver was located about 50 km northeast of Chernobyl (just west of Chernihiv, south of Gomel).
The Soviets had been working on early warning radar for their anti-ballistic missile systems through the 1960s, but most of these had been line-of-sight systems that were useful for raid analysis and interception only. None of these systems had the capability to provide early warning of a launch, which would give the defenses time to study the attack and plan a response. At the time the Soviet early-warning satellite network was not well developed, and there were questions about their ability to operate in a hostile environment including anti-satellite efforts. An over-the-horizon radar sited in the USSR would not have any of these problems, and work on such a system for this associated role started in the late 1960s. Duga-3 could detect submarines and missile launches in all of Europe and the Eastern coast of United States.
The first experimental system, Duga-1, was built outside Mykolaiv in Ukraine, successfully detecting rocket launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 2,500 kilometers. This was followed by the prototype Duga-2, built on the same site, which was able to track launches from the far east and submarines in the Pacific Ocean as the missiles flew towards Novaya Zemlya. Both of these radar systems were aimed east and were fairly low power, but with the concept proven work began on an operational system. The new Duga-3 systems used a transmitter and receiver separated by about 60 km.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

Walesby, Ramblers church & Views & Claxby Radar, in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Pentax K5ii & 18 135mm WR Kit lens. Edited in my recent purchase, Luminar Neo. Its slow, but allowed a life time licience, which frees me from the monthly trap. :+)
Hummmm.........And next we get to play right?
