Later in that thread someone mentions that the SR-71 has 4 radios (like the story mentioned) 2 UHF, 1 VHF, and 1 HF. So despite not being on the same frequency for most communications, they were definitely capable of monitoring and transmitting on civilian frequencies. A bored radio operator on yet another training flight could easily be listening into civilian radio traffic.
- _whiteCaps_ 3y agoNot an SR-71, but a couple of weeks ago I was listening to a pilot/amateur radio operator making contacts on the 20m band while he flew from Texas to Nevada. I'm assuming their radios are a bit more flexible on what frequencies they can transmit on. Edit -- Found him: https://www.qrz.com/db/K4RNN https://www.qrz.com/db/K4RNN
