Periscope not detectable by radar?

I've always been a periscope drill kinda guy. I never kept my masts up for too long, I always assumed that there was a chance they'd get picked up.

but i agree with those who said that beyond 2,500 yds you probably wont see much. and a mast is so small that it would take a pretty good radar set and somewhat calms seas to pick it up.

I wonder if a SPY-1D would pick one up and at what range?
