I was looking for the post earlier on in which someone estimated the Sampson radar's line of sight to the horizon to be 16 miles ( was it ? ) versus 13 for SPY radar on A. Burkes.

What height above surface were you using for the two radars?

Also, can anyone estimate the diameter of the Sampson antenna? Or is that Double Plus Top Secret RN info?

And doing a bit of advanced math -- Mach 2 X 16 miles or X 13 miles -- how much time until impact does that leave either man/machine system to react?
