If a radar signal were beamed into one end of such a "pipe," Gallet and Booker reasoned, the gently bending...
Tilting a 100-kw. high-frequency radar transmitter 71° into the night sky near Washington, D.C. last April 22, Gallet aimed a radar beam at what he believed to be a pipe that would carry the signal to a point in the South Pacific Ocean just off the southern tip of South America.
