* A New Bound on the Radar Cross-section of the Sun Bill Coles, UCSD Mike Sulzer and John Harmon, NAIC Jorge Chau and Ron Woodman, JRO We have not observed a solar echo using the 50 MHz radar at Jicamarca, Peru; and our upper bound on the echo cross section appears to conflict with earlier observations. History of Solar Radar proposed by Kerr in 1952 to probe corona around 1.5 RS detection at 25 MHz at Stanford in 1959 - SNR marginal -daily observations at 38 MHz at El Campo, 1961 through 1969 -no detection at 50 MHz at Jicamarca in 1964 marginal detection at 40 MHz at Arecibo in 1967 - unp
