Not sure if this is a good idea. As far as I know radars operate on a regulated frequency and you need a permit to use in most countries. There was also some incident a few years ago where the beam of a radar station would clearly show up on the cloud coverage maps of weather stations because they used the same frequency.
This is, to be fair, mentioned in the article. Cool project nonetheless!
That should never be a reason not to share open source knowledge!
