I know this has been probably discussed before, so a quick summary would
be great. Exactly how visible are kayakers to radar? I am guessing that
kayakers without any kind of radar-refelcting special equipment are
completely invisible to even the best coast guard or land based radar.
Does this change appreciably with a head or deck mounted radar reflector?
Thanks,
kevin
