  Talk about 'harmonics' - a frequency phenomena.  At Hohenfels Training
  area in Germany - there was one set of frequencies that always seemed
  to be "jammed" by a 'voice jamming' system.  Until you listened carefully
  and had a linguist nearby - it was a Czecheslovakian Taxi Cab company....
  
  ------------------------------

  We also had some "unattended ground sensors" (UGS).  The crystal 
  frequency was set at the plant in Texas.  Unfortunately, we weren't
  allowed to use them in Germany - the frequency was set on German
  TV!!!???

  -----------------------------

  Go figure..
