Default RE: Possible EMP at Waco, TX ???

JR,

I was just thinking about the same thing!! Yes, an ECM Tx will knock out anything low powered within a 5 mile radius, and range increases with altitude. The guys at Raytheon (in Waco) got some pretty serious stuff around.

I would discard AF One, the ECM Transmitter in that sucker would have caused a fire on a small R/C receiver, not to mention any UHF/VHF station.

PS, If you had a freq scanner on at the time of possible transmission, it would have failed too. I used to be an ECM tech, so Im pretty sure of what Im saying.
