We share it and if they stop using it, Washington will sell it for something. We get a lot radar and radio location data every day and night. We live with it. Have been moving our links from 420 to 2.4GHz ham band.

We had a lovely buzz saw sound happen about 6 months ago interferring with some sattelite downlink equipment here in the valley and would wipe our UHF repeater up on the hill... It primarily happened between 5 and 10 pm local time... Eventually tracked it down to electronic warfare equipment onboard visiting aircraft at the air force base about 50 miles to the south... As soon as the wargames were over, the interference to both the sattelite downlink (Fox News SD in this case) and the UHF repeaters up on the hill went away. Haven't had an issue since.

I'm told that the noise I'm hearing, which I only hear every "blue moon", is some sort of military radar.
