[OFARC] Jamming Cuba??

[Stephen Flowers]

Hey Ralph,

This video from KI6NAZ's YouTube channel shows how to use triangulation 
of KiwiSDR stations around the americas to deduce that the location of 
the jamming signal.  Spoiler alert: it's originating near "Western 
Cuba".  I thought that it was pretty cool use of existing Ham radio tech!

They're affectionately calling the jammer "The Cuban Rum Runner" ( lol ) 
and he's been with us since at least July 15th.  Hope that you find it 
interesting!
