the FCC believes the jamming is coming from within Cuba.

The SIGINT and electronic warfare facility at the Lourdes is supposed to be closed. The Russians paid Castro some 200 M USD anually for it but it was dismatled more than a year ago. Read about it here http://www.fas.org/irp/imint/c80_04.htm

If Iran is cooperating with Castro and jamming an uplink signal in the US it is very strange as it reveals the cooperation and the type of equipment used that possibly only should be used at a critical situation. Very strange, this is the stuff serious articles are made of.

Don't count on seeing it in Time or Newsweek.

The Chinese connection on the possible jamming from Cuba:

In mid-1999, it was reported that the main Chinese intelligence collection facilities in Cuba were located northeast of Santiago de Cuba and in Bejucal, in the province of Havana [located at 22° 55' 43" N 082° 23' 19" E ]. Reportedly China signed an agreement in 2000 with the Cuban government to use Cuba’s satellite intercept facility at Bejucal, southwest of Havana. The facility, located near the Russian facility at Lourdes, was built in the early 1990’s with Russian equipment. (source John Pike)
