If you have a Coast Guard station nearby, ask them if they'd be interested in testing it. Our local CG actually did some tests with our club to see what - if anything - would make kayaks more visible on radar (paddlers wearing space blankets, foil-covered hats, and a few other things). Unfortunately, nothing really worked. It would be nice to know if this actually does work.

Dang, one less reason to wear my tin foil hat.
