Re: I thought RCS was like aero on scale models

If the field strength is the same but the antenna (or object) is smaller, it has a smaller aperture and thus collects (reflects) less enengy, right? My point is the field strength is in "per meter", but the smaller object occupies less area and thus intercepts less of the field.

Beale AFB has an OTH array, though I suspect is it not shortwave else you would have ham lining up outside the base protesting. Or maybe they don't use it anymore. However the Russians fire up some OTH once in a while and blows away the band.
