The story goes, that in the 1960's the BBC short wave out of UK to Russia was intensively jammed especialy during times of cold war high tension. The BBC used a directional Ariel system that had to be manually adjusted to provide highly directional emissions to overcome to he jamming. During one crisis where the Ariel direction was specified only at the last to moment for security reasons no one realised this direction had never been used before and the beam went through the chief engineers house on the perimeter of the transmitter site. The springs in the mattresses caused them to catch fire!

that is absolutely terrifying, its so cool to think how a powerful radio can do what we associate with lasers.
Time signal WWV has had to lower power due to people in the vicinity of Colorado Springs becoming ill with symptoms highly resembling Havana Syndrome
Ah the USSR, the original fake news blocker.
This channel is quickly becoming my favorite, you’ve done a fantastic job of blending radio knowledge for the enthusiasts & entertainment for the people who may have never used a piece of equipment in their lives.
Same here!
We’ll said
I know, right! His videos are quite good for being educational!
Yep here for the great stories and mellow voice.
agreed! Great stuff
The firedrake station is the first thing I ever found on my own with a sdr back in the day , leading me down the road to this awesome hobby , great video as always
Can you recommend an entry level SDR transceiver? I'm a licensed ham radio operator but don't know anything about SDR or digital modes.
I remember tuning it with a traditional shortwave radio late 2000s thinking it was a legit station - until I noticed it was all over the dial like a rash.
@@paulloveless4122 as an entry-level SDR, the RTL T2 or newer MSI SDR have a good Software sorry.
Software line SDR sharp and SDRplus are easy to use.
There are even some RTL SDR Blogs with Hoe
@@paulloveless4122 I just recently set up a digipeater which does APRS, TNC, iGate, SSTV, FT8, JS8Call etc.. Hooked it up with a cheapo UV-5R and it's amazing. I use the DigiPi software by Craig @ KM6LYW Radio. Simple to set up and use in all modes.
I found it on the utwente websdr last year
I was on a team of people that caught the PLA of China jamming ABC Australia and a number of other stations several years ago. We were able to triangulate the signal using listening stations all over the globe, as well as propagation studies, open-source intelligence and not so open-source intelligence to catch PLA red handed. They were up in the mountains. So, yes, there ARE multiple transmitters.
Interesting that they would block communist propaganda from other countries.
sure mate.. I was also part on the team now, lmao
@@purplepois0nbf ccp shill
Red handed at doing what, blocking your crappy news channel?
@@CountingStars333 I hope you enjoy living under a Communist dictatorship and when I say Enjoy I mean be completely miserable and you want to kill yourself
As Bob Marley once sang, we're jammin. Oh yeah. We're jammin.
Now I want to build a ridiculously overpowered transmitter that would just play that on a loop for jamming purposes.
The CCP maybe? Just for shits and giggles…
@WolfieMel it is chinese folk music blasted out by the ccp to prevent in/out data and voice to chinese populous and those close to them.
We're jammin'. I hope you like jam in soup.
@@merseyviking mhmhmhmm, soup c:
I’m definitely very much familiar with the Firedrake, and can hear it loud and clear over here on the Irish coast.
It took me about a year to finally record a Radio Free Asia transmission ID without an SDR because of the Firdrake, it literally drowns the transmission out and makes it impossible to actually hear it, you literally can’t escape it.
China also broadcasts their CNR 1 station over RFA sometimes as a jamming device, I’ve seen that more than the Firedrake recently, especially on Radio Taiwan International and RFA/VOA over the past maybe 6 months.
I live in the Philippines and haven't heard firedrake much at all on the SW side but it's still very active on MW. At night it's a constant presence on some frequencies.
That’s interesting! Haven’t heard much about it on MW!
What frequencies is it on?
Radio Free Asia is funded by the CIA, there's a declassified document of cold war mentioned that CIA created Radio Free Europe.
I wonder whether the intended Chinese audience for BBC. VOA, RFA know that there's some circuitry that can reduce the effect of the jammng signal on the desired one? These techniques were widespread in WW2 Occupied Europe where the Nazis made extensive use of jamming transmitters to block out 'Resistance' radio stations [*] based in Great Britain and operated by the 'governments in exile' from those invaded countries - for example Radio Oranje, based in London, broadcasting to the Netherlands.
Some of these techniques involved broadening or narrowing the frequency response of the receiving radio's antenna using a network of inductors and capacitors; more sophisticated ones exploited the fact that in many cases the listening station, the jammer and the transmitter did not lie on a straight line, thus a directional antenna could be able to receive the transmitter much more strongly than the jammer's signal. The best circuit I've seen from the 1940s was a two loop antenna (one larger than the other) with the smaller free to rotate around the long axis of the larger loop. The output signals from each loop are applied to separate transformer winding in 'anti-phase' configuration with the final modified output (now the 'differential of the two signals) from a third transformer winding. This apparatus permitted Radio Oranje to be clearly audible in some (but not all) parts of the Netherlands, despite German jamming. The technology is nothing cutting edge - ham radio ops (and serious engineers and scientists) had been tinkering with this sort of 'noise-cancelling antenna' circuit since the 1920s.
[*] There WERE 'Resistance' radio stations actually IN German occupied countries - particularly France. 100-200 watt transmitters, easily packed away (ditto antennas) which would broadcast to an area, region or similar that coud be received on those civilian radios that had escaped confiscation. These radio stations became much more active after D-Day when the risks and consequences of detection were less.
As a former listener of SOH,RFA,VOA in China, I would say no-one will learn some skill from WW2. B ecause the majority of listener were ordinary people in this country,so they listen to these overseas radio station just to get some information be banned by authority.
That means they can't get that kind of skills except been taught by this stations.
I quit using radio to get forbidden information, just because I am tired to against "丰收锣鼓”.This year I taking more time on mobile devices with Google Play to get daily news, watching TH-cam and communicate with some friends.
Still thanks for your advice,Hope you have a good day~
That’s an amazing piece of history, thank you for sharing it with me
Here's another thumbs-up for your channel. Great stuff! I live in a Chicago highrise that's essentially a Faraday cage, yet can easily receive Firedrake jamming on Sound of Hope frequencies on my Eton Elite Executive..
That reminds me of the weird gothic building in Ghostbusters!
@@navelriver Zuul
I can't help but wonder if the "feed Satellite" could be hijacked so it would transmit the radio stations they are trying to jam.
We could "jam" the feed satellite by feeding a signal of higher strength towards Chinasat 6B, right?
@@cherrypepsi2815 maybe
If we only could aim a microwave beam at those satellites so intensive it ignites the nitrogen in the atmosphere.
Downloaded the full sample of music once upon a time. A digital copy someone ripped from the Sat feed. Really good recording.
I've heard Firedrake multiple times because I live on the West Coast on the USA. Chinese jamming is so sever that even I can't pick up Radio Free Asia usually. I've gotten it pretty clearly on both of my portables, a Sony ICF-SW7600GR and a Grundig Satellit 750.
And wonderful work from what little I've seen from your channel.
There is believed to be seventy or so such sites, most of them within the Chinese mainland. I believe some of them have megawatt-class transmitters.
Marvellous work sir
Looking forward to Sunday!
I may just appear in Sundays video Mike
@@RingwayManchester Has anyone ever commented on your stock footage of the array by the lake? Those birds are-perturbed.
The firedrake jammer can be heard in the UK on 5890kHz and 9255kHz and a few other frequencies around 1900 to 2100 UTC. I typically call 1900 UTC the Chinese Music hour as most of the stations on 49, 41 and 31 meter bands are playing a mix of classical Chinese music and 80s & 90s C-Pop.
Oh my lord I wanted the backstory of firedrake so bad, seen it for a long time now, so glad this popped into my suggested
Great video Lewis. Always enjoyed watching your videos.
I’ve heard the fire Drake on the SDR receiver out of the Netherlands. He had a dozen big job on the fairway woods that’s for sure wiping them completely out
Another awesome video mate, keep up the great work!! Always learning something new from you.
another great video
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it.
Thank You..! Excellent Video-Summery 👍
Another great video Lewis. I have heard the fire Drake jammer before. I listen to it sometimes and also the Vietnamese siren on the SDR receiver out of the University of Netherlands
Great video Lewis ❤
I sometimes tend to deep dive into weird hobbies, recently shortwave radio via websdr, and your channel has been super interesting and informative for me. Love ya :)
what are your other weird hobbies
At least I’m not alone. Through TH-cam I’ve found a hidden passion for urban exploration, railfanning and other stuff like this.
That shit is so helpful sdr is mint
Great video Lewis. Always enjoyed watching your videos.
I’ve heard the fire Drake on the SDR receiver out of the Netherlands. That thing really covers up the frequency spectrum one it’s on
Thanks so much as always my friend
Over the years i heard the firedrake on many out of band frequencies between 6.2 MHz and 6.9 MHz.
After pizdylions of your videos I'm still not sure what is more appealing for me. Knowledge and amazing stories or your accent, diction and eloquence😉👏
Thanks my man :)
,,Pizdylion", hahaha, my fellow Poles are everywhere
Awesome vid again👍🏻thank you brother
If you have to prevent people in your country learning about the rest of the world or leaving your country you have to KNOW your in the wrong.
To a dictatorship control is right and proper, and the less the enslaved know about anything else the better they can be controlled.
Radio Caroline was jammed in the UK by Ofcom issuing a licence to London's Spectrum Radio on Caroline's 558 MHz frequency in the 1990's.
Wow really? If you have any more info rob ringwaymanchester@mail.com
I remember it well although I'm sure it was the late 80s. It was Chinese language was it not? Killed Caroline stone dead in London.
558khz?
I'm sure of the event if not the times and frequency. It was even mentioned here in the US radio enthusiast world. The simple solution they never tried was to do it better than Caroline, which the stoic British broadcasting world wasn't about to do.
@@P_RO_ The Radio Agency at the time wanted shot of Caroline so they swamped it. I was an avid listener and very annoyed when one day I heard Chinese in Caroline's frequency. Fortunately the Dutch station 10 Gold was still broadcasting.
Yet another fascinating video from one of my favorite channels. In the stock footage used in this one there is a tower with what appears to be an 8-element collinear dipole array, and I would love to know what that array is used for.
Thank you it’s in Portugal, what it does exactly I’m not certain, I couldn’t find out
Very nice video, great work
So jamming is illegal. So Firedrake is sat fed. What a hoot if the sat uplink was hacked and Firedrake was made to transmit what it is trying to block (no more illegal than the jamming in the first place)
Ok what satelite do they use for the up link? Details are needed consider such options...
Illegal by what law? World doesn't follow bri ish law.
@@CountingStars333 if you are really interested it isn't under British law that it is illegal it is under international law set by the ITU.. international telecommunications union that is an agency of the United nations that coordinates all radio transmissions and tries to prevent any country screwing up the legitimate RF usage of another
@@StreakyP The PRC and the ITU does not recognize Taiwan as a souvereign country so these are pirate stations, and are allowed to be jammed.
@@CountingStars333yeah, but it follows conventions and international laws.
On the 40 metre band I hear this Firedrake jammer almost every evening until 10:30 PM and then it stops, but never knew that this was a jammer.
I have recorded it on video a few weeks back.
The frequency is different every broadcast.
Another very interesting video of this topic. I knew North-Korea was doing this vigorously but I didn't know China was doing it so large scale as well.
The North Korea/South Korea radio war happens more on the frequencies between 3 and 4 mhz and also on MW so it doesn't spill out all over the bands like the Chinese stuff. There used to be more jammers from other countries but I think it's becoming less relevant in this era with good internet coverage all over Southeast Asia. China still has a lot of ground to cover for their domestic radio services so shortwave is still very relevant there. Same with North Korea's domestic radio services especially given the power shortages etc. It's the best way to cover the entire country given the circumstances.
Thanks for this interesting video.
I'm not sure if I picked it up but I used kiwiSDR recently and picked up a station that sounded like Chinese music played under water, in another room - it was truly, truly otherworldly - like something the creators of LOST would use for the dharma initiative.
Would you mind explaining what is the following phenomenon: on kiwiSDR you see a wide band of frequencies in digital format and it shows traffic/broadcast in real time, on one specific range (I am not sure the gamut thereof but it wasn't a single frequency) there was a transmission that looked like a mirrored "C" that kept looping across this range of frequencies?
Clearly it is connected to one purpose, but how is it achieved and what's the reason?
Thanks
Top class content you're putting out, I'm loving having found your channel.
Someone needs to put a Fire Drake on 6000 kHz Radio Havana Cuba as they sound like crap & their ancient equipment interferes with 2 of WRMI frequencies.
More good research Lewis. You know where to get the info! Thanks.
Ringway I have heard Fire Drake multiple times. Across the pond over here in the states. usually around 19 meters and 75 meters. I have heard the Chines national anthem being played over and over again. At least to me it sounds like the Chinese national anthem. I was just using a small transistorized shortwave receiver. A Sangean ats 909.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the U.K. government, under Labour, jammed Radio Nordsee International (RNI) on 13th June 1970 during a General Election. During this period RNI changed its name to Radio Caroline International with the consent of Owner Ronan O’Rahilly. After the election the RCI changed the name back to RNI and when the Conservatives got into power the jamming continued until RNI sailed back just off the coast of Holland when the jamming ceased.
i know absolutely nothing about radio stuff but this is very entertaining :)
During the 90s i used to listen to shortwave
This music used to play and would be the clearest signal compared to other
I enjoyed the traditional music for like 5 minutes , thinking it was an intro to some show , expecting them to start talking eventually but nope ....30 minutes and still playing
I haven’t heard firedrake for a while, instead they use CNR1 Voice of China or CNR2 China Business Radio to continue jam foreign stations. But I’m sure firedrake is still broadcasts on the satellite
Thank you for your channel and videos. I would be so much more interested in SW things but I live in Minneapolis, MN, USA, and the reception is so poor. Sometimes I go online and listen to them but they aren't broadcasting when I want to listen.
Dude your knowledge is goat level
What Frequencies on an SDR, or is it the ones you showed in the waterfall?
In Indonesia, I also felt the Drake CNR fire, usually disrupting certain broadcasts
This is amazing
Ah yes, the great Wall of China..
I've heard it quite often from my old short wave radio. I'm in a remote area in the northern part of the Québec province in Canada. I hear it quite well, especially in winter when the weather is clear during the night.
I've an old Hammarlund H-180A hooked to a long wire antenna (160m) at 75fts in the air.
Really 🤔
Firedrake frequently comes in nice and strong in Seattle.
I listen to the firedrake once in a while
Very good Lewis enjoyed this one.

I am pretty new to the HF HAM world, about two years now. Thank you for this as I was wondering what was up with the Asian music that seemed like deliberate interference on, for me at least, I see them on 40m near the top of phone part of the band. Normally over 7.250hz or so and it looks like an AM signal based on the bandwidth and sound quality. Yeah I hate it.
That firedrake drives me nuts id like to jam it
I have heard it, I used to think that Radio China just loved Chinese Opera! But no, they blast out other signals with their Chinese Opera. Radio Taiwan actually has good English language content when they can get it out.
Great. You comment on Wikipedia but I guess you wrote the article on this topic there, which I enjoyed, as it is part of your script. Interesting topic and not one that is easy to get information on!
Would you mind including the frequencies in the video descriptions going forward? Just to make it a little easier to find? Or at least the legit frequencies that are being jammed? Thanks...
Frequencies of the firedrake is a bit tricky cause the radiostations it want to jamm change frequencies often. Try 6.2 MHz to 6.8 MHz in evenings.
It varies Nick, there’s no set frequencies cause it’s targets move. You’d have to listen daily and log it but there’s not really a pattern
Has anyone ever found the transmitter location on Satellite view??
Would be a viral hit on TH-cam if you were to venture out there and capture images of it! Much like the first time the Russian Woodpecker was seen I'd imagine...
just a reminder, it is illegal in international law to broadcast frequency without the approval of the nation radio governing body since all frequency used must be assigned. so US and UK are actually breaking the law.
2:28 Yes - "໒໕ ປີ" is "25 Years" in Lao.
Great video - thanks!
I remember Radio Taiwan international I remember picking it up when I lived in Taiwan in 2009
I got my first shortwave radio in 1995 back when they were called Voice of Free China, and they were one of my favorite stations.
I'm curious if anyone knows what the output power of Firedrake is? I'm sure it's not easy to figure out without some sort of datasheet. Or if you do some fancy RF detective work. But even a rough educated estimate would be appreciated. Or if it's not possible to provide, I'd be interested in understanding why. Thanks very much guys! Take care.
Oh bother…
Maybe I’ll have some honey, just a taste :D
I personally enjoy the stock footage of the radio tower it adds to the mystery
I've heard Firedrake several times, always jamming Falun Gong broadcasts. It's really obvious when you see it on a SDR waterfall display.
So a question about this system (I have zero knowledge of radios) couldnt the individuals being jammed do a data dump on those look through windows instead of a stero broadcast to be downloaded as opposed too actively listened to?
While that is possible, it requires pretty specialized equipment that can turn radio waves into digital data. Which is much harder to obtain and operate
They could as old radio broadcasts used to transmit data that could be played on data cassette for spectrum zx computers, but it might be quicker just to cover important news if the listeners didn’t have the technical knowledge to convert the data. Also being in possession of such data might be risky, you no longer have plausible deniability.
It has great sampling potential.
I found Firedrake for the first time this evening - I haven’t been SWL’ing in earnest for very long, so I was quite intrigued by it. I’ve noticed that CGTN seems to be all over shortwave, too - so much so, it’s good to find things that aren’t CGTN.
What Frequency and time? I haven't been able to hear it at all on the East Coast USA. All I can hear using an MLA 30 + Is CNR 1 all the time. Maybe I should try an sdr out west.
UTC time* thanks
I honestly can’t remember - it was some time between 1900-2100 UTC, and I didn’t make a note of the frequency. I’m in the UK, so I don’t know if that would help you but if I find it again I’ll let you know.
jamming happening every day is on 7335kHz over radio martì in florida supposedly from cuba to prevent cuban receiving that station in cuba, it used to splatter every where on the 40m ham radio band, now it seems to be aimed specifically to that radio martì station
I live in OZ. They drown out a LOT of stations. They even go on amateur bands. It’s annoying I can’t even listen to VOA or BBC.
I hear "Firedrake" regularly, although I have noticed China are now using CNR1 for jamming. Any broadcast to Tibet is wiped out by any of 3, 500KW txers near the Tibetan border. SOH is normally obliterated by CNR1, but on rare occcassions on the 15 & 16m bands I have heard it unjammed.
My QTH is Lower Hutt NZ, using a PL880 and 10m wire. Happy Christmas.
SOH transmits on many frequencies as well in a cat and mouse game with the jammers. Here in the Philippines it's easy for me to find frequencies it's not being jammed on because there are so many but you will also hear CNR1 all over the place without anything being jammed under it too.
Too bad WLW can't fire up their 500kw flame thrower. I read during ww2 they increased the power to well over a magawatt
How dare they jam the world service and are Steve Wright!! Dose Arnie and the terminators know 😉❓
this is part of why the bbc radio uses VOIP digital upload for all programming languages. they hope that when the real signal is jammed, people can still find their web portal.
BBC is a propaganda arm of the British government.
FEBC radio Vietnamese along with jammer on 9795 kHz at 11.40 was heard yesterday. A video clip is available in my youtube channel.
I was expecting a vpn ad at 0:41😂
YAAAARRRRR!!!🏴☠️
I once worked for a company who did satellite communications, under a special contract we provided telephone services via a dedicated satellite link to the Kurdish community in Iraq when it was still under Saddam's regime.
Periodically we had to change frequency because someone (presuming the Iraqi government) would jam the signals.
I remember lessening to radio short waves in my youth and though I didn't understood the meaning of all this, I was none the less fascinated. I recently watched the 'Russian Woodpecker' episode and it stroke my memory. The sound is familiar though I always thought it rather sounded like an helicopter. But hey, it's relative.
I live in Canada, so I kinda consider myself lucky in some way. Why? Considering that we have the states in the south and Europe (or more specifically Russia) on the northern side. Canada is basically under this global cross fire. I'm not 100% sure but I think I even caught this Firedrake jammer. Is it possible from such distance? Can jammers can be received across the globe?
It definitely sounded like a helicopter, that was my first thought when hearing it as well.
"Can jammers can be received across the globe?"
We dont live on a globe, makes your thinking a bit easier huh. IF you think we do we can discuss this later but you wont stand a chance since you dont have even 1 scientiffic proof for a globe; so you dont even have an actual reason to believe the crap you have been told as a child.
Imagine a ball of water, its almost too stupid....
Radio would be so easy to transmit when you dont think about a stupid hptoshopepd globe and it explains also why we have a network of towers providing us gps etc etc...
I wonder if this was the crap I was hearing last night at 7.220 Mhz? I also heard something odd a few nights back at
7.190Mhz. I am not sure why any government would want to jam 7.190Mhz, as I do not think there are any foreign broadcast on that frequency.
Sound of Hope has an English language TH-cam channel (Wei and Cathy show) who have talked about broadcasting into China on shortwave, so interesting to hear the struggles they had from this perspective.
I wish someone would jam the BBC in the UK!
With the information of the jammer being fed via a satellite linkup. How come nobody has thought of simply trying to hijack the satellite signal by sending out their own programming on the same frequency that the satellite is using. More powerful than the official signal (capture effect) that would in theory cause the jammer to turn on its maker’s by broadcasting what they are trying to actually jam.
Do you or anyone know anything about a broadcast on 11650khz AM. it was very prevelant in europe in the evening hours. It only used instrumental oriental type music. It disappeared a few weeks ago and im obsessed with it now. It seems to be part of CRI but it didnt match anything they put out on other frequencies. I have recordings i can upload.
"only six have been identified" Uh, just ask the government then? Straight up ask them.
Oh wow. I just asked about you doing this one.
I would say i noticed this video for some reason,and I'd like to thank you for make it.
I used to have my Tecson device to listen to RFA,VOA,SOH,RTI.Even thought they all transfer signal from Taiwan,only VOA had best experience in downtown area.
If you want to listen some SOH program, you have to go to countryside, it'll be less jammed there.My friend says he even clearly listened a whole program made by RTI talking about ROC Taiwan,that's a thing.
My unforgettable memories is all comes from VOA,one is for a completed version of "Yankee Doodle"played by a band , another is a special program about former leader Zhao Ziyang.
No jam at all, unbelievable.
I'm pleased to share some of my experience with my poor English.
Thank you again and wish you have a nice day ~
I live in Shanghai china and I think I heard it, I was testing my diy radio and I randomly started to hear Chinese music that would do the same thing as this video explains
I always find we in the western world block jam or otherwise interfere in receiving of radio like the video you did ( I can not remember which). That the radio laws of the UK make it technically illegal to listen to some broadcasts. When we do it for national security or to prevent crime. Yet when another country does it we say it is to prevent freedom. On a side note does the UK allow radar detectors for speed traps? I know in some states in the US it is ok in others not. Great content as usual.
RT (Russia today) has been removed from he terrestrial and satellite broadcasting in the UK.
I don't know of any blocking or jamming here in the west, do you have an example? The radio laws of the UK make it technically illegal to listen to anything which ISN'T a broadcast other than a transmission intended to be heard by you. It's not illegal to listen to broadcasts. Yes, radar detectors are allowed in the UK as they do not demodulate the signal, they are only signal strength meters.
And of the examples mentioned, radio free Asia and falun gong, one of them is basically a CIA program, the other is a cult
Nice straw man. No, we don't block commie horseshit from coming in. Yes, China will throw you in a concentration camp if they caught you listening in on VOA. We are not the same, at all.
Wow amazing. Hopefully the people being Jammed can get and irdidium or are star link satellites equipment and get there info out to the world
Surely satellites are even more vulnerable to jamming? It's the stated policy of the US Army Signal Corps to maintain their HF radio equipment (and skills) because they know they won't be able to rely on their VHF and broadband UHF satellite tac and command channels in a real shooting war. Furthermore the US (and some other countries) are keeping going their 2 MHz (ca. 1950s) hyperbolic LORAN navigation/positioning system because, again in a real war, the satellite GPS will be compromised by jamming.
@@alastairbarkley6572 Most or all of the LORAN system no longer exists, the towers have been taken down and can't be quickly rebuilt. GPS as a system is more 'hardened' than you'd think and has redundancies as do the COMSATs. But yeah, in a real shooting war the first strike will include all the COM's they can interfere with,and we'll be doing the same to them.
Yes I've heard firedrake
Another cool video Lewis.
Note to self: commit to further research of signal jammers and signal jammer jammers.
Just keep hittin' 'em out of the park, Lewis! (baseball) (you've heard of baseball)
Sure I've heard Firedrake. When I first heard it I thought it was just a music channel and not intentionally jamming someone
A free world now
Brilliant Lewis, thanks. Just wonder how China can justify this, or is the question ever asked?
Rumble, RT, Robert Malone - blocked in the FREE world.
But _why_ would it take the them that long to figure out if the station is the correct one to jam?
I mean, if it can be triangulated, maybe we can remotely hack the facility and either get it struck down or overload it until it melts.
