Yes , of course , Rue...You ARE 'curious' .
What a capacity for overstating the obvious .
Thank you for your expert opinion .
With your 'logic' , brains are rendered completely obsolete...
Heh , heh...
But , for the benefit of curious Folk , here's a little tidbit :

Nope .
Wrong and wrong . Again .
Never said that it couldn't be a glitch ; just believe it is too convenient a cover story for something known to exist and the purposes to which it may be put...
And I didn't say that's what radars are FOR , 'shaping images'.
What I said was that phased arrays are used to shape (and steer) radar signals...Not the 'images' , the outgoing pulses...There's a vasty gulf of differences , nearly all of which would be lost on the general public...

BTW - DO you have an answer for Kwicko's question ? I'm kinda' thinking not.
As for your link, someone needs to go into WIKI and correct an error. It states: "In this propagation method, when the signal encounters a rise in temperature in the atmosphere instead of the normal decrease (known as a temperature inversion), the higher refractive index of the atmosphere there will cause the signal to be bent."
That is false. Higher temperature results in LOWER density which results in LOWER refractive index. "Cold air is denser than warm air and has therefore a greater refractive index."
I'm amazed that you of all people, with your superior intellect, didn't notice that. I guess I'll just have to chalk it up to yet another failure on your part.
Oh, btw, as the proud owner of an all-band receiver I've had a lot of fun taking advantage of signal skipping. But receiving signals is tricky - you have to be in a very small area at the right time.
What signal skipping doesn't do is cause miles-wide coherent images to skip, like you seem to think it does. 
Also, I noticed that you just couldn't resist snarking when you had no other idea on hand. From now on, I'll take it as a symptom of your evident inability to contribute in a meaningful way.

A receiver wouldn't cause a signal to skip...
Like I said , you Folk are out of your depth...
Just a clue , Rue...
Owning a radio receiver will not make you a radar expert...
Not snark . Just the facts , ma'am...

At this point, I'm beginning to wonder if you know how to read.
"A receiver wouldn't cause a signal to skip..." Go back and read s-l-o-w-l-y. Then come back and tell me where I said that I MADE the signal skip with my RECEIVER.
"Owning a radio receiver will not make you a radar expert..." And you are ? I hope to see your credentials some day. hee hee hee
For the rest of you who have ever fiddled with an AM radio - and have a clue - I'm sure you've had the experience of receiving stations that have skipped in from far away. All-band receivers (including shortwave) can and do pick up signals from hundreds, even thousands of miles away, depending on atmospheric conditions. It's a lot of fun.

And I'm STILL waitng for an answer to Kwicko's question. But at this point, since all you have is snark, your dementia seems to be answering for you.

Ask Kwicko again...What WAS his question ?
For Folk still wanting to make up their own minds , here are some more Facts about weather wars , from North of the US border :

Sure...Soon as you get Operative ScamBO to show all of his...You can permaybehaps begin by getting him to show some of his scholarly papers
whereby he proves himself a scholar regarding the Constitution...and his qualifications re: being a native-born Citizen of the
United States...
Hey , lookie here ! A hexagonal figure on Saturn...Hmmm , must be a Doppler weather-radar glitch...

Okay , then...
Crawl back into that tight little hole where you live , and see if you can get a 'signal'...
