   I have just remembered there is an example of military   
   jamming of satellite communications.  John Simpson   
   of the BBC reported that his satellite phone from Baghdad   
   to London stopped working during air raids.  This was in   
   1991 during the first Gulf War.  The BBC will have recordings   
   and he may have mentioned it in one of his books.
