Years ago, when the president was coming to the area, something was fired up in the Westover Mass air base area. It wiped out UHF spectrum for many miles. Maybe they were testing a jammer for possible use during his visit, or forgot to turn something off. When I worked for Nextel, we had

Yes, I'm getting it in Rockland County, NY on one of my UHF machines. I'm told that the noise I'm hearing, which I only hear every blue moon, is some sort of military radar. Adam N2ACF Chuck Kelsey wrote: Is anyone hearing a strange noise (buzz/whine) on UHF? Chuck WB2EDV

Radar buzz (colloquial name around here is the bees). We get it quite often here in eastern PA/NJ/DE/MD/NY. 440 propagation has been a bit enhanced today (I wouldn't say wide open), but hearing stations in NYC and LI here in Philly. --- Jeff -Original
