Not just the Commies. The "Capitalists" would, in turn, increase the
power of THEIR transmitters in order to out-do the Commies....and
possibly even jam them.

Look at the battle between American and Cuban AM stations in Florida.
Supposedly they step over each other all over. On purpose.

And surely the jamming that went on caused transmitter power to increase.

Reminds me to the police radar and radar detector battle.
Introduce a radar unit.
Counter with a detector.
New Ka band unit
Ka detector
Instant on/photo radar
instant on detector
LIDAR
LIDAR detector
and so it goes.

A friend jokes that the major police radar companies own the major
detector
company and create their own arms race.

Or look at the virus / antivirus battles.
