because the analog data comes from the di gital data.
I could even tell where it was. It was si tting
out on Meritt Island, wasn't it? I ' ll bet--it was
accurate enough--I ' ll bet you that you could almost
t ell what building it was in. It looked like it
was r ight out here in the south part of the complex

We went through these radar tests just drif ting

Everytime we went over the China area.
Conrad
I had the decided impression that they were t rying
to jam our UHF.
So it was either that or--oh, yes ,
where was it where we heard the radar on the r adio.
