[Milsurplus] The Mighty FCC Man-Trackers

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

The CODAR sites in NJ are maintained by Rutgers University:

They have a couple of them about five miles from my QTH in Sandy Hook and Sea Bright. 

They operate around 4.5, 13.5 and 26 Mhz. Which frequency was giving your problems?

  Sounds almost as bad as CODAR  http://www.codar.com/intro_hf_radar.shtml

There is one in NJ that drove me nuts in NY.  I tracked it down to a city then 
building, but what to do then?  I had no idea at the time exactly what it was, 
thought it was some form of interference and not intentional.

That the FCC even allows such a device, which takes out chunks of the HF band 
and makes conversation impossible, blows my mind.

Maybe not, they allow BPL.
