A friend of mine here at the UW recently built a system using commercial FM radio broadcasts. While it doesn't detect stealth airplaines, I imagine the underlying passive radar technology is similar to that employed by our friends overseas. He designed it to examing irregularities in the stratosphere, but it has been known to detect aircraft... from the web page

Rainier by varying the antenna pointing.
