Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Discussing the 12-5v DC-DC converter at 25w, we wanted to make an anti-radar gun. This story was put forth.

Well, back in the day, my dad was working for an FCC radar(?) testing facility outside of Boston, and they had a powerful emitter. So, before driving home every day, they'd sweep for Kband signals, and if they found them, send out a nice big juicy ping. Blowing out every radar gun in Boston.
Sounds like something an engineer would do.
