Very advanced notice, I know: I have just received this GPS jamming exercise update from OfCom ...

OfCom said:
The MoD has informed Ofcom of the following GPS jamming exercise:

Dates: 7-11 September and 14-18 September 2009.

Times: limited periods between 09:00 and 17:00 hrs

Location: Within 5km of N52° 00.881’ and W003° 38.518’ (Sennybridge Training Area, Mid-Wales).

I have attached the location in Garmin GPS Database 3 format (.gdb) and Garmin GPS Exchange format (.gpx). If you are out and about north of the Brecon National Park on those dates be prepared for non-functioning GPS or odd behaviour...

One way to ensure squaddies can read a map.
Gonna be a fair few panicking when they can't get a fix.:D
 
I believe they are also working on an iPod jamming delivery system ..........
 
Just as long as they don't jam the mobiles too, cos we won't get any comms then.:augie
