It was fun to do!
- xrayarx 4y agoHello there, thanks for your efforts! I really enjoy this happening! Could you please comment on this: https://twitter.com/erikkannike/status/1612729957851054080 https://twitter.com/erikkannike/status/1612729957851054080 How does he track the jamming? How do the russian jam? How could they ever jam up such a large swath? Does that even have a discernible effect on modern GPS receivers in smart phones? Surely it doesn’t effect military systems, they would anticipate jamming, right?

- jjwiseman 4y agoThere's a discussion about GPSJam, which is where he got that map, from a few months ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32245346 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32245346 Sometimes the interference seen on those maps does affect phones, sometimes it doesn't. Coincidentally there's a huge region of GPS (at least) interference this week over the New Mexico area, from a military test. My guess is that people on the ground won't be affected, unless maybe they're very close to White Sands Missile Range between 18:30 and 22:30 GMT.
