Jamming Flagpoles

Posted on 6:22 PM by Unknown
Today I read a report about Iran's alleged "flagpole jamming network".  Reading all of this, it became plainly obvious that, "of course this is a method they're using."  Here in the States, we already use flagpoles to conceal cellular communications towers.  You can see an example of such towers here.  So, it makes a certain amount of sense that tyrants (Islamofascists, Democrats, Republicans, etc.) would use similar means to conceal a "secret" jamming network.

The one problem I have with the story reported by Fox news is simply this: a jamming system requires both power and communications connectivity.  I.e. you can't just throw a flagpole in the ground and magically make it a part of a larger jamming network. Hasn't anyone reported seemingly excessive communications or electrical work being done around these flagpoles?  Instead of offering subjective reports about juvenile cancer rates, etc., why not identify the concrete things that would prove the purpose of these mystery towers?
