A Texas company (Trionics, Inc.)  http://www.trionics.com  says that a 9
GHz band (3 cm) marine radar can do a reasonable job of "seeing"
storms.  They are getting ready to test a marine radar on land to see
how well it works. The radar's are not going to give a color image like
the quarter million dollar radar's do, but it might give just enough
LIVE information for spotters for a cost of around $1300

I will be posting more information on their test as soon as I get it.  I
would like to hear some feedback from the NSSL crew and others on if
they think this might work.
