The International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 (IARU-R1) Monitoring System (IARUMS) reports that an over-the-horizon (OTH) radar located on Cyprus has been active on 21.170 MHz, which is inside an exclusive Amateur Radio allocation. "The Sovereign Base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is a British Overseas Territory on the island of Cyprus," IARUMS Coordinator Wolf Hadel, DK2OM, explained in the December IARUMS newsletter[1].

Reported on December 11, the radar was said to be using FM CW, 50 sweeps/second and 20 kHz wide, on 21.170 kHz.
