Sometimes you can see a thin spike or wedge on your radar through 1,2 or more sweeps. I'm told this is a Military radar jamming or interrogating your wx radar. I've seen it in the middle of the Pacific ocean for a few mintues, must have been the US Navy checking us out.

maybe someone else has the tech info on what exactly happens?
