Besides not being legal, the moment that nations perceive amateur radio as an adversary, that is the end of amateur radio within their borders.

DXpeditions already have lots of problems with that, operators have been jailed, and even more often suddenly have permission to operate withdrawn, and of course there are the countries that we can't get that from it all. That we have satellites at all is seen by many as a threat. Now try to go to their country and operate satellites.

Most hams don't think very much about what we should be doing to make ourselves desirable to nations and motivate them to continue our frequency allocations. Especially for the next generation of hams, for whom Emergency Services will not be a viable mission. My holiday wish is that more of you would put in the thought time.

Transmitting such a signal is a violation of law in the US. If it interferes with a plane's operation,  and becomes a safety of life issue, the operator will be assumed to be a terrorist and all hell will break loose.

This is a truly BAD idea.

can we build a jammer satellite ? to jam radar and missile guidance systems
so that no more military "mistakes' can shoot down a commercial airliner like MH-17 in 2014 ?
things are getting kind of weird at the border again over there

i and the innocent souls THANK you
it was 283 passengers and 15 crew in 2014

The case will be tried in absentia as none of the suspects will appear at the Dutch court. Russia does not extradite its own citizens.

It said the crash was caused by the detonation of a Russian-made 9N314M-type warhead carried on the 9M38M1 missile, launched from the eastern part of Ukraine using a Buk missile system.
