If it is, it's illegal.
More likely the transmission is actually on another frequency, and you are getting an intermodulation 'ghost'.
Check the WTR for nearby transmitters.

Re: Oxford frequencies
Thanks milly, it's good to put a name to a frequency.
Minus1, being new to this i'm going to ask in a small voice "wot's the WTR?"

Re: Oxford frequencies
It's not likely that 403.0 is actually in use by the MoD in your area for analog comms.
The band is primarily for Meteorological Aids, there are few reports of anything else.
403 – 406 MHz
METEOROLOGICAL AIDS
Fixed
Mobile except aeronautical mobile
I still think it's most likely to be a ghost signal.

Aye. I'm actually in North Yorkshire but was in Oxford for some work. I once got a cordless phone conversation in multiple places on a shortwave radio. I'm assuming that this us a similar thing?

Re: Oxford frequencies
Most likely, yes. If you're close enough to something, you just need a bit of wire and a speaker…
