[Spooks] Sam theories.

I agree with you. My suggestion that this could be a military exercise
isn't popular but I continue to believe it may be possible. One person
suggested that the military and intelligence community has a worldwide
network that allows them to DF signals, so exercises in foxhunting are
redundant. I'm sure that network does exist, but you still need boots
on the ground to go the last mile, especially in inhospitable places.
My theory has been that this could be a remote transmitter placed
somewhere in the desert, with the purpose being to have a small group
(special forces, paramilitary, etc) tasked with finding the
transmitter using portable equipment. By diversifying the frequencies,
playing with antenna orientation, and transmitting on top of other
loud signals, you could add to the challenge. This is an exercise that
could be valuable despite whatever worldwide DFing network exists. It
simply seems far to elaborate to be a hoax.
