Reply to comment by QVRedit in Surprise discovery of radio signals could help track space junk and limit global security risks by marketrent
You're correct, seems memory failed me on that one. Been while since I had seen it and misremembered . As to the intent of reply that the broadcast station should have been aware of the concept of using reflected radio waves, the rest of my reply is most certainly correct, and via the same of using precision timing, return strength, triangulation, etc. The details of the distant object can be determined and is not a new thing.

Reflected radar waves are definitely used to range asteroids, amoung other techniques
