मुझे कैथोड-रे ट्यूब के शोर के बीच किसी विमान के रडार सिग्नल को पहली बार एक छोटे से बिंदु के रूप में उभरते देखने और फिर विमान के पास आने पर धीरे-धीरे एक बड़ी रेखा में बदलते देखने से कभी बोरियत नहीं हुई। बादलों या अंधेरे के पार बहुत दूर की चीजों को "देखने" की यह अजीब सी नई ताकत हमारी इंद्रियों का एक जादुई विस्तार थी। इसे देखकर मुझे रेडियो के शुरुआती दिनों की वह खुशी याद आ जाती थी जब मैंने पहली बार किसी हॉर्न से आवाज आते सुनी थी।
I never got tired of watching the radar echo from an aircraft as it first appeared as a tiny blip in the noise on the cathode-ray tube, and then grew slowly into a big deflection as the aircraft came nearer. This strange new power to "see" things at great distances, through clouds or darkness, was a magical extension of our senses. It gave me the same thrill that I felt in the early days of radio when I first heard a voice coming out of a horn.
