I wish that website had some kind of timelapse functionality. It would be very useful to see how jamming in an area changes over time.

View on HN

There are multiple sites that try to infer whether jamming is happening.

Ukraine is of course a huge hotbed of jamming, but every time I've looked, there's been jamming on the US/Mexico border and a bit north of Texas around an airbase.

There's also a lot of info available here: https://www.nstb.tc.faa.gov/

The apparent interference in Texas is almost always fighter pilots doing training. During aggressive maneuvering the aircraft fuselage can mask the GPS antenna, causing the aircraft to lose GPS accuracy.

Fighter jets emit ADS-B? I know it's only training, but I'm curious?

Go to https://globe.adsbexchange.com and once it loads, press "u" to show only military aircraft. You'll see bunches of helicopters, transports and tankers, trainers like T-6 Texans and T-38 Talons, and once in a while an actual fighter or ground attack aircraft.

adsb.exposed has a dedicated section on F-16: https://adsb.exposed/?zoom=5&lat=43.4805&lng=-110.7608&query...

I'm thinking about adding that. (Donations help, see the About page.)
