  I remember an accident prevention specalist from the Long Beach
GADO telling of an experiment they ran.  They took a rental plane
(Warrier, 172, or something like that) and went out over the Los
Angeles area.  They started flying triangles (both ways) and listening
on the radio.  Nothing.  (They did it for several hours!)
  They tried the radar chaff with somewhat worse results -- it all blew
back into the cabin.
  Apparently, both have been removed from the list of recommended
procedures.
