When the 23cm radar was installed at Heathrow, every time it swept past the tower we heard loud bleeps in our headsets. Tels rapidly arranged for the signal to be surpressed as it swept past the tower and the problem was solved. Surely it must be possible to remove a known stationary target even if it does have a propellor on it?
