Almost all amateur bands above 219 MHz are shared. Most often this is with the military and their use is usually radiolocation. On 70 cm the military has uses in specific areas of the country. The 3 PAVE PAWS missile defense RADAR sites also use this band. Along the Pacific coast you can also hear shipboard RADAR.
