[MilCom] MILSATCOM?

[Larry Van Horn, N5FPW]

You have caught one of the US milsats located at 100 deg west. It is a UFO 
satellite using the Quebec bandplan (a Navy Fleet Relay (25 kHz) Channel 
17). More than likely it was picking up some terrestrial signals from our 
neighbors to the south on the uplink frequency of 297.375 MHz. A common 
occurence on some milsat downlinks.

I heard a Spanish conversation between two people on 263.825 NFM earlier 
today at 5:00 PM EST. This was from my location in NE Ohio. I believe this 
is a SATCOM frequency. Any ideas what this was? I was listening on my PRO-43 
with just a 220 Mhz Ham Band rubber duck antenna indoors with NO pre-amp.
