There was an infamous case in Monterey Bay that disabled GPS

radio amateur, a faulty TV amplifier in someone's=20
attic.  You might want to check your own house, although
it could also be a neighbor. =20

I have never had a GPS signal jammed because of some other transmitters
that are being used close to my GPS antenna.
