Dude, you're being jammed. Jerusalem is no more high tech (no more

reasonably well and HF is still quite clean.


No, it's loaded with broadband noise up until just below 14mHz. Lots of
computers, digital devices and DSL internet. EU radiation standards which
are a lot looser and easier to cheat.


Why do they always blow up the power plants?


Who? If you are referring to Gaza, they get most of their power from Israel
and neglect to pay for it. In fact the one power plant that is there was just
damaged by the locals. It wasn't much of one, it produced less than 1/3 of
what they used.
