[Scan-DC] Interference/jamming on UHF this morning

[Andrew Clegg]

Bob,


No idea if it has any relation to what you heard, but
during the inauguration, when presumably some type of jammer was being
employed, I captured some broadband but very intermittent RFI on the 2 m
satellite downlink band. I posted some plots at http://www.w4je.com/146MHzRFI.htm. Although
the plots don't show an impressive amount of interference, I had
never seen anything like this before and I have not seen anything like it
after. However, since it was very intermittent, it does not seem like a
particularly effective jammer, if that's what it was.
