thread_title:  BIRTH OF RADAR MEMORIAL 

message: The Robert Watson-Watts page says: They tested their theories with a flight of the Zeppelin LZ 130, but concluded the stations were a new long-range naval communications system. Whilst the Chain Home page says: German sources report the 12 m Chain Home signals were detected and suspected to be radar; however, the chief investigator was not able to prove his suspicions.[34] Other sources are said to report different results. 
Suggest the chain Home page comment is more accurate?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.203.254.2 (talk) 08:59, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a number of different explanations as to why the Germans failed to recognise Chain Home as a radar system, such as listening in on too high a frequency - the Germans were working on higher wavelengths and so assumed the British were working in these same frequency bands - to the transmitted power from Chain Home resonating with the metal airframe of the LZ 130 and swamping the airship's onboard receiver - the Chain Home operators reported the airship as the biggest radar return they had ever seen.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.31.130.17 (talk) 10:50, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  German Early Detection 

message: The first sentence of the section entitled "Contribution to the Second Woorld War" ends with "Citation Needed".  The start of the sentence contains the reference... it on page 392 in the 2001 printing - how much more specific do you need?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.45.182.9 (talk) 14:17, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That full book source, with page number should be added as a ref, I guess. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:24, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation Needed? 

message: Chain Home#cite note-9 claims (unsourced) that he was known as Robert Watt until his knighthood in 1942.  Can anyone find a reference for this?  If so, the article should be revised. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
