COTHEN background infoSource: U.S. Customs Today, March 2000 issue.
COTHEN is an HF ALE network that uses landlines to connect nineteen transmission sites spanning the nation in order to form one unified coverage area. Currently, the network has 19 sites, 89 remote communications consoles (RCC’s), and a TSC in Orlando, FL.
Back in 1984, the design for an ultra-sensitive U.S. Customs radio network was conceived. Code-named COTHEN, Customs Over The Horizon Enforcement Network, it combines a radio, computer, and a tactical voice privacy unit into a state-of-the-art communications system that meets the demanding requirements of Customs' tactical interdiction aircraft and boats in their fight against smuggling activities.
COTHEN's first fixed station transmitter near Memphis, Tenn., became operational in 1985. The Blue Lightning Operations Center was the first command office and its marine vessels were the first tactical platforms to have COTHEN radios. This initial deployment proved so successful that COTHEN grew to include all U.S. Customs aircraft.
High powered fixed station transmitters located across the United States are connected to Customs' Air, Marine, and Special Agent In Charge (SAIC) locations via dedicated telephone lines. Tactical interdiction platforms that are equipped with a COTHEN radio can place a call to any other platform or office in the network. Thanks to innovative technological advancements, a COTHEN radio is able to establish a link with another COTHEN radio thousands of miles away with no more difficulty than placing a phone call.
COTHEN has been instrumental in helping law enforcement agencies successfully complete a number of missions. For instance, early last year off the coast of Puerto Rico, COTHEN played a primary role in impressive seizures of 1,169 kilos of cocaine, one boat, three smugglers, and 41 illegal aliens by making sure all the entities involved in the action remained in contact with each other.
COTHEN now provides communications support for hundreds of aircraft, marine interdiction vessels, command offices, and numerous agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, Drug Enforcement Administration, Border Patrol, Army, Navy, and Joint Interagency Task Forces. COTHEN's Technical Service Center (TSC) provides real-time on-the-air support services and guarantees communications between users. The Telecommunications Specialists who operate the TSC have many innovative diagnostic tools used to ensure communications, including a telephone patch (TRICS), a platform tracking and location system (TRACS), and over-the-air-rekeying capabilities (DARK).
The TSC constantly monitors all communications using the network by tracking the radio calls of all assets. The TSC operators ensure that communications are established and that links are optimal. This is done by observing which land site a radio call is using to establish the link. If the link is not the best one possible, the TSC operator can remotely change the site, improving the quality of the communications.
The TSC is an important aspect of COTHEN because it provides a central hub for the network and because it is staffed by highly experienced operators. There is a back-up control site for the TSC in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Having a secondary control site protects COTHEN against any terrorist attack or natural disaster, such as a hurricane.
Each 1 KW transmission site has two antennas; Omni TS 530 and a Directional TS 540.
The FCC released the locations of the the COTHEN transmitters in an October 2004 document:

This is a list of ALE ids that have been decoded on COTHEN, but have only been logged once. Some appear to be single use trigraphs and others appear to be bogus. If an id repeats itself over time and appears to be a real id then it will be transferred to the actual COTHEN id list.
