Steve,

Yes.  The main one is probably Milsurplus at mailman.qth.net.  There are
several 
splinter groups but probably 98% of the splinter group members also belong
to 
the base group.  For non-military (or maybe more proper to say not just 
military) radios, the main two are both named Boatanchors.  One is also on
QTH.NET 
and was originally I understand a disgruntled splinter of the oldest 
radio-related (communications, not SWL) reflector on the Internet (dates
from the days 
of CPM and the early Commodore commercial machines),
Boatanchors at theporch.com. 
 The latter is moderately difficult to get into and is subscription 
supported.  But the technical level of the members is generally higher than
in most of 
the QTH.NET lists.  The lists on QTH.NET are nominally donation supported,
but 
only a few (I'd guess 5%) ever donate.
