Hmmm, in my previous life I worked for Grumman who built among
other things the EA-6B , an aircraft whose sole purpose is to cause
grief for radar units.  Well, it seems a local sheriff was  treating
a certain naval base as his hunting ground.  This was quite a while
ago and instant on wasn't in fashion yet.  At some point every EA-6B
sortie included a seek and destroy on this locals radar unit.  He got the
hint.
