Radio waves can be controlled thru jamming. I used to mess around with my grandpa's ham radio when I was a kid. Got jammed off the airwaves a bunch of times by FCC until Grandpa got a fine in the mail because of it. Picking out my own switch and the subsequent ass beatings I took for it wasn't fun, but the rest was.
Also, don't think for even a second that the U.S. Govt won't fly AWACS, Hawkeyes, and Growlers all over this country just to jam out the ham and c.b. radio users. They do that shit just for fun on normal training ops. Seen that shit myself while in the Navy. And that was over 20 yrs ago using Vietnam era EA-6/B's. I saw one Prowler shut half of Seattle down for over 1 1/2 just doing training. No comms, no lights...nothing. That was in '96. If a Growler can shut down foreign naval vessels indiscriminately and for an indeterminate period of time while bypassing all the EM shieldimg modern naval vessels have, it's not a stretch to know that this can be done INCONUS. And only the repeater stations would need targeting. Anything else would be a boon. Also, a Growler can outright fry radios permanently. I know this because the EA-6/B could do this at only 1/2 power. Saw that happen to Iraqi Army radar and radio posts during OIF. And those were shielded, too. Now, imagine what the Growler is capable of.
Just trying to keep everyone in perspective here. We're in a war for the fabric of our existence. Don't get complacent. We don't even know what the military has technologically any more, other than what's readily available thru open source. The Growler is almost 20 yrs old now.
Food for thought.
