STOP using anti radio language!!!

Instead of saying:

Link acquired! I'll decrease power until it's at the minimum required to be stable.

Try saying:

Fry the herd of cows that just passed in front of the antenna! We'll have microwaved steak tonight!

Fun fact about the invention of radar

Radar was a practical by-product of Britain’s initial attempt to develop a
directed energy weapon for air defense. As early as 1934, the British Air Ministry offered 1000 pounds to anybody who would demonstrate the apparatus necessary to kill a sheep at a range of 100 yards
