BREAKING: Persian opposition Satellite TV jammed to Iran and Europe
ChannelOneTv ^ | 7/06/03 | ChannelOneTv

Posted on 07/06/2003 10:29:47 AM PDT by freedom44

Elements were able to Jam broadcast of opposition satellite television received by millions of Iranians inside Iran, US, and Europe. Only one of the stations is being received inside Iran, due to a different signal. Without these broadcasts it's difficult to bring masses into the streets.

This three days before mass demonstrations are expected inside of Iran.

Reports are saying that a Truck traveling between 5th-12th street in Atlanta, Georgia is to blame. Iranian-Americans are working on establishing who exactly is behind the jamming and who is inside of the truck. If true, there will be lots of explaining to do.

Also, some of the links to the satellite television sites are redirected to CNN.

Will keep you updated.

I'll be travelling to the demonstrations in support of Iranian Students in front of the CNN building today.

If any of you are around the area, please join.

Date: Wed. July 9, 2003 Time: 10:00 Location: US Capital Square, In front of Capital Building, West Front area Source: contact: 800-662-8196 or www.tazahorat.org In Attendence: Senator Sam Brownback, Senator Brad Sherman and others.

Support Iranian Students In Their Quest For Freedom & Democracy

The young people are investing their lives for freedom in Iran. All they are asking from you is to invest only a few hours of your time.

On July 9th, 2003, the fourth anniversary of the Islamic Regime's savage massacre of the university Students in Iran, the Coalition for the Pro-democracy Iranian groups in cooperation with International Harmony are organizing a demonstration in solidarity with Iranian student's Struggle for freedom. the demonstration of July 9, 2003 will focus on the Islamic Regime's denial of unalienable rights of Iranian people to liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness. The demonstration of July 9, 2003 in Washington D.C. will also place emphasis on condemning the Iranian Regime's cardinal standing in sponsoring radical Islamic Ideology and International acts of Terroism.

Somebody in a truck in downtown Atlanta is jamming the Iranian Opposition tv broadcasts? Are foreigners in signal jamming trucks allowed to freely roam around jamming signals? I guess the FCC is off for the weekend.

Link is Persian satellite Television.

www.channelonetv.com

is one of the many jammed, they're talking about it on the air and Iranians are calling from Iran saying they aren't receiving the reception, nor are they receiving it in Europe.

holy cow that's a weird story. Certainly, driving around in a truck in Atlanta jamming signals counts as some form of terrorism doesn't it?

Truck-mounted equipment able to jam a satellite uplink from an earth station with a much more powerful transmitter and a much larger antenna?

No, I don't think so.

Whether or not it does, it will certainly bring the FCC down on them with Felony charges.

Thanks for the ping!

This doesn't seem possible as described!

Perhaps they have bought off some critical manager of the Satellite Rebroadcasting Company!

Hmmmnn..Georgia Tech is near downtown Atlanta and has a large number of Middle Eastern students.

They are usually studying microbiology,electrical engineering or nuclear physics.

Nothing to worry about.

Actually, far too easy. If the 'real' up link is using a highly compessed (Say 16QAM) signal, the truck (maybe a ENG rig?) with a 20 watts signal could easily degrade the signal to the point of it being useless - esp if everything is digital.

Don't forget the episode where a fellow nailed HBO years ago using a rigged up home TVRO "C" band dish....no commercial gear there.
