[TenTec] Radio Science + QSK = Radar

[James Duffer]

The Soviets were not the only ones using OTHR that utilized HF (some in ham 
bands).  GE did testing that encroached on the ham bands (at times).  I am 
saying that as I saw documentation that indicated this.  I have not 
personally heard any interference that I could positively say was OTHR in 
the last 15 years.
