I reply: At the time, a lot of overseas telephone calls were handled via HF (short-wave) radio links. The OTHR tended to tear the heck out of these links. subcorpus said:

I never thought that we would see pictures of the antenna Geez I remember it very well – it was always on one of the ham bands – everyone knew it was from the USSR – OTHR (Over the Horizon Radar)

It used to go from 5 to 20Mhz or so depending on the time of day. Datong made a 'woodpecker blanker' especially to mask it. Once on the QE2 the Radio Room was visited by a high official in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) who told us that it was no longer operational. Half a minute later I had found it on 16Mhz and pointed out that this was the signal that had been switched off?! It was known as the 'Over-the-horizon' Radar.
