Liberty Net being jammed tonite?

Tune in to 3948 or thereabouts and some people are playing music.

K5BLB is on the air too - guess we know who's behind it.

Maybe our "freind" from Las Vegas too......

Nope, not that group. The guy jamming was from the east coast. probably
somewhere in PA or NJ

Maybe it was Kind Jewish Indian.
Maybe it was Chicken Fornicator.
Maybe it was Arky Bob and Loose Orifice calling in from "over yonder".
Maybe it was The Colonel calling in from Leavenworth.
Maybe it was me calling in on my DX-398.

The efforts of that jammer were well noted here in Michigan. The Liberty
Net group did a fine job in that Electronic Warfare environment. The
Electronic Counter Measures that the Liberty Net group used were also
well noted and they were classic textbook examples of what fine highly
trained radio operators can accomplish in such a hostile situation. I
was still able to follow the situation from here by the use of two (2)
Icom R71-A receivers. The Liberty Net radio operators routinely shifted
their transmissions from primarily 3.958.0 LSB, to 3.947.5 LSB and USB.
The Liberty Net effectively used 'scouts' to seek other frequencies for
their transmissions
and also employed deception techniques such as their use of their
"secret frequency" so that the enemy jammer was distracted. The Liberty
Net group continued to transmit that there is a real need in the United
States of America for some form of effective law enforcement to prevent
the efforts of legal radio transmissions from being jammed. The group
mentioned that the location of the enemy transmitter was located
somewhere in the state of New Jersey.
The Liberty Net continued to mention that the telephone number for
reporting FCC violations was 1-717-338-2502. Once again, a fine effort
by all of those on the Liberty Net.

I frequently listened to the Liberty Net throughout the 90's when it met on
3950. Back then some of the Liberty Net guys would also have QSOs on 3950
during the week. EVERY SINGLE TIME these folks would try to carry on a QSO, or
run their net, they would be jammed by a plethora of deranged individuals such
as:

WA9KJI
K5BLB
W9ART
K5ZU
WB0CXJ
AF2Y

Plus others who's call signs I don't recall. Add to this at least the same
number of unidentified jammers such as "Doofus", "Captain America" (I think it
was), "BR549", and others.

After a few years of this, I contacted the FCC about this jamming because I
couldn't believe this jamming was allowed to continue. I mean, surely the FCC
had to know about it. Just by tuning across the band, one could hardly miss
this wild cacophony coming from 75 meters every night!

Anyway, the FCC's Riley Hollingsworth asked me to regularly provide him with
date/times/details about any jamming I heard, which I faithfully did for months
and months.

Hollingsworth bragged about the FCC's highly effective monitoring and direction
finding capabilities, and hinted that these jammers would be easily located. I
thought, "OK, great. Now the FCC will finally clean up this mess". So I
faithfully submitted jamming reports and waited for the jammers to be shut
down.

Nothing happened.

After a while I began to smell a rat.

First of all, why should I, or anyone else, have to supply the FCC with a
running history of ongoing jamming? Once a problem is reported, isn't it the
FCC's job to monitor the jamming for themselves? I mean, for all they know my
reports could be false. Wouldn't they want to hear it for themselves?

Secondly, I cannot beleive that the FCC wasn't already aware of the situation.
I mean, you'd have to be totally deaf not to hear it.

Thirdly, with the FCC's DF capability, I can't believe they couldn't find these
guys.

I finally stopped communicating with Hollingsworth. It was a total waste of
time. Something was not right at the FCC. I just assumed the Clinton
Administration told Hollingsworth to look the other way, to allow the jammers
to continue, because the Liberty Net was so critical of Clinton and liberals.

Fast forward to last night. I tuned past 3947.5 and was greeted by someone
jamming the Liberty Net with music. Last night's jammer and his selection of
music sounded just like one of the jammers I heard in the 90's! Nothing has
changed! The same guys are apparently still on the loose! Hollingsworth is
apparently still sitting on his ass throwing jamming reports into the
trash while assuring us with a smooth line of bull**** that something will be
done.

WTF is wrong with the FCC?
