Yee-hah!  This is the kind of response I was looking for!  Good old
American ingenuity comes through.  Seriously though, I have heard tales
of HAM's jamming (not destroying) radar guns, and people putting
magnetrons on their cars (effective birth control?).  Anyway, what
I wanted to know was how (in theory) the thing might work.

Thanks for the entertainment!
