How many unclassified RFI sources around 982 MHZ is the only question we can answer.

Its in the L-band for satellites up and down by numerous countries and on the ground there's interesting TACAN and military digital links.

Its entirely possible nobody can admit for fifty years that some classified digital data link device had a firmware crash and transmitted an unmodulated carrier for awhile.

FCC does. Had to do deconfliction between JTIDS data links (could use more more than X of the available timeslots between all military datalink users) and S-band radar. They’d monitor us and actually occasionally issue fines to units that messed up their terminal’s time slot allocation.

Not every country enforces radio spectrum guidelines.

I made some 868Mhz lora sensors for a pacific island client in 2016. The customer had a lot of interference from the local TV station and after talking to the island mayor we just changed them to 877Mhz which was quiet
