+rutson Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 This mail has been sent to those who have signed-up on the Ofcom site for notification of GPS Jamming exercises. We have been informed of the following GPS jamming exercises: Dates: 22 to 26 September 2008. Times: Short periods of three minutes up to three hours per day between 08:00 and 17:00 hrs. Location: Sennybridge Training Area - N52° 01.181’ W003° 36.684’ Contact (during jamming exercise only) – 07766 134520 Dates: 13 to 24 October 2008. Times: between 09:00 and 17:00 hrs. Location: Sennybridge Training Area - within 5 km of N52° 01.181’ W003° 36.684’ Contact (during jamming exercise only) - 07766 134520 Looks like it's in mid-Wales, just north of the Brecen Beacons.

+Haggis Hunter Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sennybridge Camp is used for training in the Brecon Beacons, so you would be correct. Quote Link to comment
+DHJ&P Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 There's a little more information here:- http://www.grough.co.uk/content/view/1009/2/ Dave Quote Link to comment
+Eclectic Penguin Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) Thanks for this information - I'm regularly in this area so it would be: 1: useful to know when to avoid trying to find caches in the area 2: useful to go there and see how effective this jamming actually is. 3: useful to know how widespread the jamming is - I presume it's ground based jamming... While completing Leaping Lemurs GC1CXM8 earlier on this week, (and getting an FTF for a cache that has been out on the mountain for over a month!) live firing could clearly be heard from the Sennybridge range.
