The USA, Cuba, the USSR, N. Korea (DPRK), S. Korea (ROK), People's Republic of China (PRC) and the E. Germany (GDR) all regularly blocked rival nations programs with jamming devices. Most nations have jammed some stations at some time in their history. The Americans launched the station Radio Free Europe while Western broadcasts were launched in the Eastern bloc with the start of the Cold War. The Soviets became alarmed and the radio jamming war would later develop in to a major Cold War issue.

  • The USA, Cuba, the USSR, N. Korea (DPRK), S. Korea (ROK), People's Republic of China (PRC) and the E. Germany (GDR) all regularly blocked rival nations programs with jamming devices. Most nations have jammed some stations at some time in their history. The Americans launched the station Radio Free Europe while Western broadcasts were launched in the Eastern bloc with the start of the Cold War. The Soviets became alarmed and the radio jamming war would later develop in to a major Cold War issue. The USSR made heavy use of radio jamming to prevent its citizens from listening to political dangerous broadcasts from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Voice of America (VOA) and other western broadcasters. By 1952, there were approximately 200 jamming stations with a total of between 3 and 4 megawatts of output power, which expanded to about 1,700 transmitters with a combined 45 megawatts of output power by the early 1960's. The total electricity consumed along with the site construction and personnel costs was enormous.
