Re: The Shapiro's experiment HOAX. A 1968 TIME article.

NEW CORRECTION:
The received power is well under 100 picowatts, due to the fact that
less than 0.1% of the power reaches Mercury and bounce back.
Add to this degradation of the pulses while grazing Sun's surface, noise
from the Sun's atmosphere, irregularities on Mercury's surface and the
difficulties in making a MATCHED FILTER at the receiver, which is
essential in radar operations.
Plus, all the results were derived from statistical algorithms, which
makes the results much more doubtful than the admitted +/- 20% error.
