Re: Stus-List Radar Reflector

I think some laws of physics are being looked at differently now that we have a better understanding of the role played by very small particles like bosons and neutrinos and since we think we have found the missing energy in the universe calculations...

Besides for everything else, those "reflectors" don't actually do anything involving reflecting radar. Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I On 5/21/2018 10:14 AM, robert via CnC-List wrote: That is a possibility, but not a probably.the reflector was on the lower port shroudthere was no one in fr
