[MilCom] Unusual freq hits.

[Jeff]

Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I have been to your site several times looking at the
Orderwire and SATCOM related stuff as I am always pulling in stuff out of
the air I can't explain. 

I have several known OW freqs I have found that I now are good. This one
reminded me of the same type of intercept. 

At this time I am focused on working everything in AM mode and am unwilling
to start getting off project and focusing on SATCOM or Orderwire, BUT, once
I get to a point where I am not coming up with any useful results in AM then
I am going to step back and start working some of these freqs that I have
been locking out on other modes. Looking for unusual patterns, background
noise etc. When I start doing that I will probably go ahead and post
anything interesting that I find.

I live about 20 miles or so from the WALDORF GEP. I wonder if they are
putting out any uplink OW freqs from there? I guess I'll find that out when
the time comes.

I also live about 2 miles from PAX RIVER NAS and who knows, these unusual
open signals might very well be coming from there.

Thanks again for the input. I imagine when the time comes for me to start
focusing on things in modes other than AM, I'll probably be racking up hits
on your site. Keep up the great work.



Take it easy,
Jeff
