The performance statistics were posted earlier in the thread:

PERFORMANCE
Maximum reliable range.
Target......................................Range in Mile
Land 3,000 feet or higher.............35
Land 1,000 feet..........................20
Large planes above 1,000 feet.......12-20
Small planes above 1,000 feet.......8-15
Low planes.................................Not detected
Due to the fact that low flying planes will usually not be detected, lookouts must
be alert for aircraft flying at low elevations during daylight hours.
Minimum range.
The minimum range on aircraft is about 2,500 to 3,000 yards.

No surface contacts, no land contacts unless the elevation exceeds 1,000 ft. Note the minimum range. I suspect that if surface contacts were detected, it was likely within this minimum range. For the purposes of the game, surface contacts should not be returned by SD radar, especially since SD was range only, no bearing returned.
