I found some military stuff right in the middle of our 450 band a couple years ago, and challenged the operator. In general, the military everywhere like to rely on Article 38 of the ITU Conventions. The first para of Article 38 pretty much says the military radio installations of any country can do whatever they want. But the second para says "Nevertheless these installations must so far as possible observe statutory provisions relative to ... the measures to be taken to prevent harmful interference [to other services] ..." Many military people are like other people I know (present company excepted of course HI) - as soon as they find something they like, they stop reading, so they never get to the second paragraph of Article 38. It may be worth reminding them occasionally that ITU Article 38 is not a blank cheque. .... Martin VE3OAT |

In article , says...
As Martin points out, the Woodpecker would sit at one frequency for a while, then jump to another -- I heard it many times. But I hadn't realized there were people out there congratulating themselves for chasing it off when it did make one of its frequency jumps.
