Hell, no! If you really want to recreate the past, I know someone who still has the [horribly expensive to the taxpayer] software he developed in the 1980s to simulate the DUGA-3 'Russian Woodpecker''s multi-Megawatt pulses in order to test various HF receivers and data-transmission gear of the era.

Alas the one-off deeply-strange ECL hardware and AMD2901-based bit-slice computer [which occupied two Eurocard chassis and had a GEC 4190D minicomputer as its control-head] is no longer in existence.
