In such a context, nobody would forbid ham radio. Also, it is very easy to jam purposefully, but it is very hard to identify when one is under purposeful jam (or maybe it does not propagate because other natural reasons).  As such, it's hard to make claims about when and what is jammed.  These claims can only come from those who actually jam.  And then, it is hard to tell whether the jamming was successful. About red cross and churches supporting those in need: it is a good statement, but not universal.  Both have some stories of not doing so, in particular during WWII. For WWII jamming: radio equipment ('biscuits', among others; it's the equivalent of DISHYs today) were used by Resistants in France.  One could go to prison for that use.  German enemies would jam it at times, and at other times they'd triangulate the position with goniometers to find and punhish the emitter. More recently, during Cold War, there is so much more to be said about jamming that an email is not enough :-) Alex Le 30/10/2023 à 06:56, Ulrich Speidel via Starlink a écrit : > > The main problem as it stands with Gaza would be to get Starlink > equipment in for the international organisations to use.
