He-he, I love that sort of thing. It sounds like the intro to a Clancy novel (it was, actually). Rather unlikely, but fun nonetheless. I get the feeling that if the Islamistanistas had any nukes they would have set it off by now just so they could say they had the ultimate suicide bomb
Do you remember those transmissions which consisted of only thuds (as I vaguely recall)? I'd heard that it was a special Soviet low-frequency radar system. Does that ring a bell?
Said the old man as he pissed into the wind: "It all comes back to me now..."
