If we put our own radar in the right place we could have all the benefits referred to above. A couple of carefully chosen dual SSR sites would serve the purpose....and look at the map......we have land in the right places. All that is needed is the vision to proceed. Unfortunately even this is not the answer.....I suspect the negotiations may be a desperate attempt to head off the real answer, which is within NATS grasp, and that is a full Oceanic Control service using satellite link. The IAA are not stupid and in their shoes I would make the move that has reportedly been made. RADAR is not required!/////I sense government level involvement, what do you think?
