Cuban Government Jamming 40 meter US HAM BAND

You used the word 'system" five (5) times in nine sentences; systemically, that is.

 

Just wondering if you could try having an original thought. Hard to figure out if your a human or a robot sometimes.

 

Well, since neither you nor I have any control in the matter of the intentional jamming there are really only three options 1) Turn your VFO 2) turn off the radio or 3) try to work through the jamming. Not a single thought, comment, meme, nor any action by you or me will have any effect on the situation. So, choose option 1 or 2 or 3. It's very simple.

 

Thinking you have no say or control in any situation is defeatist. The smallest contribution can be the largest in the rearview. Its like saying all we can do is hope but in fact hope is for those already defeated.

Please help us raise awareness of this humanitarian crisis happening 90 miles from Florida.

W4C will be QRV July 19-31, 2021.

We do have control of making people aware of the situation and caring about others. If nothing else sharing information will show Cubans living in amerika that we care about them. That means a lot in this world we currently live in.

Has anyone yet used the IARU reporting process I linked a few pages back?

(P18, msg 188)

Here's one way to report the interference. The IARU outlines the process and required information. In the US, the report is sent to the ARRL.

There's a fillable PDF form here:

Still going on right now. Seems to be a bit weaker today or maybe poor propagation due to thunderstorms in the area.

I listen to the 40m band on my IC-705 with an AL-705 magnetic loop antenna. The magnetic loop antennas have a lower noise floor compared to my EFHW antenna. Another reason why I might not getting as strong jamming signals to some others reporting the jamming.

Anyone have an idea what might be causing this mess ? It's only on 40M, no other band. Been steady for maybe two weeks now; never stops or wavers in freq. No new appliances or electrical changes in the house.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

There are some other threads about this. The prevailing theory seems to be the Cuban government intentionally jamming the band.

Reporting interference in the bands is not political, the frequencies do not belong to any person or to any specific government. Many colleagues on the radio have identified where this interference is coming from. we as radio amateurs have to help the radio spectrum to stay clean of these things. Please be aware of what is happening on the radio ,,, thank you 73

 

The new ARRL news letter did not even say a word about the jamming and they have a big VO team now
a few people even called the ARRL about it look in some of the post

I'm not talking about the ARRL newsletter - the IARU isn't a news gathering organization. Looking to the newsletter or calling the ARRL are not the way we report interference.

To get the results we expect, we have to speak their language and follow their processes. Some day, someone else will call the ARRL, some tech will hit the interference database, and report back "huh - we don't have any reports of jamming - are you sure it wasn't noise from your powerline router?"
