Ardent Centry Norad Excercise starts today. Effects Digital Broadcast Signals, page 1

In case you haven't read about this yet I will post a small bit of info and the link. But I also have new info.

www.northcom.mil...

North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command are planning to conduct a combined exercise June 18 - 24 that will incorporate several military exercises with a National Guard exercise. These linked exercises are referred to as ARDENT SENTRY 09. Events will take place in multiple venues across the country including Iowa, Kansas, Oregon, Wyoming, and off the East and West Coasts

I work for the cable company in SW Washington and we have been notified that they are flying a surveillance plane over the area for these exercises and they are testing their equipment. The effects it has is that we will have our signal get degraded to cause tiling and in some cases it will just go out for about 10 seconds at a time. My area is the very first area to also be completely converted to all digital signals now.

I have never seen this type of notice before and I would imagine this is not the first time they have flown over us before with the surveliance as we have an area that grows lots of pot. Maybe this is part of the new plan? They can knock out all tv, phone and internet just by sending these signals while not taking out the other electronics.

Sorry I don't know about Texas, I have only heard for my area of Oregon and SW Washington.

Anyone remember the Russian woodpecker?
It was an over the horizon radar system (OTH) which could detect ballistic launches in America. It caused heaps of interferance to various radio frequencies, telephone communications and assorted other communication devices.

'Radio HAMs do battle with Russian woodpecker'.


Are they shooting higher than normal powered radar bursts from norad to test it out at capacity with this exercise? This could be capable of causing interference.
To OP: link is down for me in New Zealand. Perhaps they took themselves out ;D hahaha.

The solar flares are always fun to explain to people and when a few of us got the email today we thought for a second it had to do with that. I don't think its the physical planes causing the issue because we have a very redundant system with multiple head ends looped together via a fiber ring. These are spread out over a very large area.

We also have 2 officers not far from the air port on either side of the Columbia river and haven't had them cause an issue like this before. I'm going to probe some of our more technical minded guys tomorrow.
