It is a Special Ability, just not one you can call on for temporary boost. It is always available/active.
However I am uncertain whether it is active all the time or only during that crewman's watch.
I'd imagine that when I'm asleep I cannot contribute with my special skills, unless snoring furiously is considered a special skill.

However, Torp's explanation may well be the right one. Makes perfect sense to me, since such a huge increase in range is most likely to be due to editing of some ***.cfg files.

I see some folks know exactly where my screen name comes from. One of my favourite episodes, btw.
