Scientific paper

On January 12, 1974, an attempt was made to observe radar echoes from the comet Kohoutek. The experiment involved the transmission of a signal at a radio frequency of 7840 MHz. The procedures used in the evaluation analyses were tested thoroughly by observing strong echoes from the planet Venus. No echo was apparent in any of the spectra obtained from the observations of the comet. An upper limit is computed regarding the radar cross section of the comet.
