This just in...
Apparently the Iranian government has temporarily jammed all the signals of the LA based Iranian broadcasters.
They are now jamming the uplink signal as well. The uplink signal is the signal from the broadcast studio to the satellite, which is then relayed to another satellite and finally broadcast over Iran. This started occurring a few days ago. I was told that the FCC believes the jamming is coming from within Cuba.
This should be reported in all the media. But the media is still silent, (except for a brief mention is today’s National Review Online).
The broadcasters are convinced that one or more of them will eventually get a signal through. They are busily readjusting their systems to use different satellites.
Good news, the phones still appear to be working, at least for the moment. I will keep you posted.

I'd be curious how you jam an uplink signal. that sounds like a serious matter of international law.

Check out #29 - The Cubans have teamed up with the Iranians (Batting #2 for the Axis of Evil) to jam those satellite signals I told you about.
Things are getting curiouser and curiouser...

The SIGINT and electronic warfare facility at the Lourdes is supposed to be closed. The Russians paid Castro some 200 M USD anually for it but it was dismatled more than a year ago. Read about it here

If Iran is cooperating with Castro and jamming an uplink signal in the US it is very strange as it reveals the cooperation and the type of equipment used that possibly only should be used at a critical situation. Very strange, this is the stuff serious articles are made of.

It is time to "take out" the uplink in Cuba.
