My point was, and is, that such jamming would by necessity be relatively short range because of the microwave frequencies involved. The only exception would be some sort of systemic jamming that originated within the satellites themselves. It's my understanding that jamming of that sort would affect all users. |

You've already been given details of two types of jamming and SA which is not jamming. However at present you seem to be keener on jamming your head up your arse and avoiding admitting the fact. |

Apparently there is this conspiracy theory that "someone" is jamming GPS signals near the coast of Cuba. There is plenty of evidence that GPS normally works just fine in that area but when people run aground it is convenient for the ego to have some alternative explanation. |

Presumably the NOTAMS stating that jamming was occuring over a wide area of sea off Cornwall previously posted doesn't mean anything to Wayne because it's happening somewhere foreign. Hint: the G in GPS stands for Global. It's like taxes: everywhere. Then there's the World Series ... so that according to you involves everyone in the world? It doesn't even involve a significant fraction of the world's nations. Does Universal Studios involve the entire Universe? |

Hint: the G in GPS stands for Global. It's like taxes: everywhere. Casady Just about ANY Military Nuclear Site in the USA. Most of the FEMA Bunkers. Most of the SAC Bases have that capability, but only test it unless at DefCon 2 or higher. White House & Capitol Building, depending on the immediate Threat Level. Places like that here in this country. Overseas, Many of the National Parliament buildings, and Presidential Palaces, and major Military installations, and places like that. Global means Global Coverage from the Sky, not global coverage on the Ground when local Jammers are active. This isn't Rocket Science, and many Militaries around the world can, and do Jam the Civilian Datastreams, within their boarders. The P-Code & Military Datastreams, are a lot more resistant to such Jamming. -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |
