I'm no RF electrical engineer, but I seem to recall a broadcast omnidirectional signal loses power proportional to the cube of the distance from the antenna. 4 Watts can jam to 200KM??

Geosync satellites are how far away?

GPS is not geosync. ---They are low earth orbit.

Geosync is approx 22,000 miles away.
