Gums, you surprise me...surely you of all people know that it is really 69 milliseconds...

now, this metal marble and metal golf ball is detectible at what range? How far away is the signal being transmitted?

... The reflecting area of the cockpit glass is extremely small compared to the geometrical area as only very small amount of the radar energy hitting it will go back towards the radar.

Reflection and reradiation are the same....

Not exactly. The terms are used interchangeably as an irritatingly sloppy shorthand even by CEM guys, but pure reflection involves no absorption whereas re-radiation involves some increase in potential followed by the discharge/shedding or conversion of same.
