Jeff, you have told me that you are near to Pax River NAS

This is home to the E-6B TACAMO/ABNCP and the ground station there would
have uplink to the UHF FO Mitsat

You might try switching to NBFM and see if that helps clear it up

If you had a radio with spectrum analysis capability then you would see
carriers popping up all the time

When in the DAMA U/L mode the carrier will likely be diff each time

Some stations are not using DAMA and the NAOC sometimes uses an U/L UHF
channel

I have only one time seen the UHF U/L from an ABNCP but I dont have spectrum
analysis capability (sure do want it though)
