All IFR pilots like to hear "Radar contact", meaning that the controller has your blip on his radar and is caring about you.This picture has been taken on a november day, from a Super Cub. Special thanks to the pilot, as I'm not (yet ?) Super Cub qualified. It is a shot of the "La Dôle" radar station, seen from the south. Geneva is just the other side of the ridge.
The main radome protects the Mode-S secondary radar, the small one to its right is a weather radar, and the last one to the right on a mast contains the antenna of a direction finder.
