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.
That should never be a reason not to share open source knowledge!
This is, to be fair, mentioned in the article. Cool project nonetheless!
