JS|DB   I do not have the technical knowledge to answer that one...
JS|DB  Seems to me all the radar in the area (search, RAPCON, avoidance,
JS|DB  wx, etc.) would have some effect.  Our B-52 radar put out
JS|DB  250,000 watts and could cause some dame to nearby radar
JS|DB  units if on the right frequency..
Ouch! Seems more plausible than my suggestions. Doubt it's down to the
magnets anyway.
JS|DB  Just a wag. (Wild Ass Guess)
Love the acronym!
