Sounds

As the AN/FPS-24's antenna would rotate in your direction, it would interfere with the radio. I remember hearing this for a long time before making the connection to the RADAR. Fortunately, a visitor to this page had a recording of the interference! He kindly digitized it for me and allowed me to present it here.

• amplified_blips.mp3 - The sweeps cut from a clip and amplified.

There are a few more clips that I'll add soon.
