LF: Re: Ofcom Update: GPS Jamming Message

Back to HF/DF using CW for a FIX and traditional Nav methods,  shooting the stars and dead reckoning.

When we get a real EMP that Zaps the solid state equipment those with the old valve/tube radios and able to TX/RX morse will be highly sought after.

Satellite communications can be Zapped/Jammed by amateurs never mind professionals  and likewise the Internet Hacked and rendered useless. Has someone forgot about the security aspect when designing the so called digital technology of today.

When you Radio Operators are all knocked out call me on CW on your 6V6/807 TX  and razor blade detector RX

 Appliance Operators you are doomed !!
