Earlier I had mentioned that, on top of everything, ham radio operators were complaining that "solar flares" were interfering with radio reception. Hams are often utilized in national emergencies. I, however, was suspicious. So, it seems, was Wayne Madsen. I've been critical of him, and I accept nothing at face value, but I am going to research this a bit. Because, he said what I was thinking: the "solar flares" are actually radio jamming.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>September 2, 2005 -- Who is jamming communications in New Orleans? Ham radio operators are reporting that communications in and around New Orleans are being jammed. In addition, perplexed ham radio operators who were enlisted by the Federal government in 911 are not being used for hurricane Katrina Federal relief efforts. There is some misinformation circulating on the web that the jamming is the result of solar flares. Ham radio operators report that the flares are not the source of the communications jamming. If anyone at the National Security Agency is aware of the source of the jamming, from direction finding or satellite intelligence, please discretely contact me at
waynemadsendc@hotmail.com (from a private or temporary email account). In this case, the Bush administration cannot hide behind national security and it is the duty of every patriotic American to report such criminal activity to the press. Even though the information on the jamming may be considered classified -- it is in the public interest to disclose it. Also, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reporting that no aircraft over New Orleans have been fired on over New Orleans or anywhere else in the area. Are the reports of shots being fired at aircraft an attempt by the Bush administration to purposely delay the arrival of relief to the city's homeless and dying poor? The neocons have turned New Orleans into Baghdad on the Mississippi.<br><br>antenna.jpg (2074 bytes)<br><br>New Orleans: Who is jamming communications and why?<br><br>UPDATE: We can now report that the jamming of New Orleans' communications is emanating from a pirate radio station in the Caribbean. The noise is continuous and it is jamming frequencies, including emergency high frequency (HF) radios, in the New Orleans area. The radio frequency jammers were heard last night, stopped for a while, and are active again today. The Pentagon must locate the positions of these transmitters and order the Air Force to bomb them immediately.<br><br>However, we now have a new unconfirmed report that the culprit may be the Pentagon itself. The emitter is an IF (Intermediate Frequency) jammer that is operating south southwest of New Orleans on board a U.S. Navy ship, according to an anonymous source. The jamming is cross-spectrum and interfering with superheterodyne receiver components, including the emergency radios being used in New Orleans relief efforts. The jamming frequencies are:<br><br>72.0MHZ <br><br>45.0MHZ <br><br>10.245MHZ<br><br>10.240 Mhz <br><br>11.340 Mhz<br><br>455 IF 233 MHZ <br><br>A former DoD source says the U.S. Army uses a portable jammer, known as WORLOCK, in Iraq and this jammer may be similar to the one that is jamming the emergency frequencies.<br><br>If a U.S. Navy ship is, in fact, jamming New Orleans communications, the crew must immediately shut down the jammer and take action against the Commanding Officer..<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/">www.waynemadsenreport.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>There are a lot of science minded folks here.

Mid-latitude K-index reached 4, and the planetary K index rose to 6. The IMF is from our sun, and the point where it contacts Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetopause. Earth's magnetic field protects us from solar wind, and the Earth's magnetic field at the magnetosphere usually points north. When the IMF points south, however, it is opposite Earth's magnetic field, and the two link up. This carries energy from the sun directly into the earth, and this can cause aurora and geomagnetic instability. This is generally bad for high-frequency radio propagation.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/09/02/3/?nc=1">www.arrl.org/news/stories...02/3/?nc=1</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>I've written the author to ask if this could explain what the radio operators were experiencing yesterday.
