Direction finding station in your areas?
Was recently in Switzerland and notice those stations:
Switzerland's Federal Office of Communications (BAKOM/OFCOM) [like the FCC in the US or CRTC in Canada] operates a network of unmanned, remote-controlled, fixed monitoring and direction-finding stations as part of its tranmissions rules enforcement mandante, like locating unauthorized transmitters or jammers, resolving interference complaints and verification of licensees making sure they stay in band. I guess support for local aviation and emergency frequencies monitoring and protection.
They are setup on elevated terrain outside built-up areas for clean radio horizon, line of sight. I was wondering if you have these in the US. Im in Canada, I have never seen any of those similar monitoring and direction finding stations. Are there any in other provinces than Quebec? Do you have those in the US ?
