What I intended to infer was use the tdoa method to see where the tx site is located. Being able to hear a hf tx beamed somewhere far away from you is quite normal especially considering the massive antennas and hundreds of kw often employed. Kinda like how I often have listened to dx HAMs working other dx HAMs, even low power can cross the globe easily if the prop gods are willing.

US mil can and does use HAM freqs but not often due qrm as US mil are primary users for said freqs, HAMs being secondary users. I recall an instance of USAF yl operating in the 75m band receiving a lot of attention from lonely HAMs.
