Very interesting documentary. One thing came on my mind that I had sometimes big difficulties to listen to finnish radio on MW in Stockholm. Was this something to do with jamming? Remember as kid I heard strange morse koding, russian stations that interface took over the signal. Sometimes impossible to listen anything else than Russian and I think DDR Radio. Was so angry as kid as we in "soviet" Sweden had our own monopoly 4 FM channels.... Its funny when some here say this documentary impossible to watch because the noise. This is basically my childhood and where my radio interest started to learn how to get better signal etc etc.... We even build our own small transmitters. Even if it was illegal that time. Someway funny times when everything was easy. Today we have all fm band full with commercial radio and almost all play samekind of music, programs and commercials. Today almost all shortwave history and soon also fm radio dead 😢 Norway will go to DAB only. Sweden and Finland discuss to cease analogue radio and both has shutdown shortwave. Its so sad. Ofcourse you can listen radio online with perfekt stereo sound. But not the same and you need always relay to have internet. Here in Sweden 4G limited data and we have bad 4g in some places. So its not so easy listen in car for example as it was before with medium wave. I also think we should have somekinda of backup. Not always you have internet. For example summer 2016 we did have a powercut fiber dead, 4g dead, 3g dead only calls on gsm worked that time and ofcourse analog radio!

Brilliant experiential documentary. From many of the remarks below it is plainly seen how "noise jamming" had its targeted effects on the listeners. The DDR often used speech or music at painful decibel levels directed across the wall or border from loudspeaker trucks. Allied sentries and guards wore ear protection but civilians usually did not have such It was. also effective in battle or clearing protesters. Problem was, the hearing protection only worked for so long. Intense noise is felt on a nearly cellular level and soon overwhelms all the senses.

+Andrewsafb71 That's like watching a documentary about commercials interrupted every 10 seconds by a commercial to give the full experience or a documentary about pain where the viewer gets an electrical shock every few seconds or a doc about the atom bomb on Hiroshima where the viewer is bombarded with an atom bomb. Yeah, that sounds ridiculous but that's my point ;-) No offense but it's a lame excuse. I had to stop watching after less than 2 minutes. There's no need to make me experience what it was like. The purpose of jamming was not to irritate people, it was only meant to jam radio signals so no need to experience this in a documentary. Short samples of the signals between the spoken words would be just fine. The documentary may be informative but it misses it's purpose. That's a shame.

I have two points on this. Good and bad. Good : This documentary show clearly how russian authorities was afread of loosing the power over soviet union nation. Including my country (Estonia) Bad : The documentary is heavily jammed by jamming noises. So you wont be able to understand narrator. Or the wirst case. Latvian/lithuanian gets mixed with english so at some point text is not understandable. Let's conclude this text. I have watched this over 5 times to understand all of the text and in affect of this i have looked up ex jammer in my hometown and i visited it. It still stands there but now it's for cellular phone coverage area. One thing that caught my eye was that there is a new building for operating this station. But why is old building still standing there (with russian alarm system on it) is the jammer still operational? the old building is the size of camping bus.

100 % false. The US doesn't jam ANY foreign broadcasters. You can listen to Radio Havana Cuba tonight, in English, on 6000 KHz and 6165 Khz from about 7 pm to midnight, every night, coast to coast. This has been the case for the last 50-odd years, I've listened to it for the past 25 years. You could listen to Radio Moscow (when the USSR was still going) all day long - they had a huge English language during the cold war, no jamming. Another know-nothing said that North Korea is jammed - they aren't. You can listen to them too every night, with songs to the Dear Leader, Kim Il Sung, leading every broadcast; but they're hard to pick up except on the west coast.

I heard the speech resembling jamming many times in the 1980s. I was puzzled by it then, I thought it could be either jamming or a way of broadcasting several programs simultaneously over the same channel with some kind of time lapse. I would like to hear more recordings of that wonderful type of jamming. Last and not least, I think this kind of jamming is needed against all the crap big business commercial radio and TV stations of today. Moreover, Bernd Trutenau appearing at 42:22 needs to trim his nose.

I get the idea--jamming is bad. No need to reproduce the jamming noise throughout the entire soundtrack, despite the warning up front. It detracts from the narration. If your purpose was to give the listener a taste of what being jammed was like, you succeeded. If you wanted to educate through the narration--fail. Had to stop watching.

As if it was only the Soviets doing it. The Americans also jammed shortwave transmissions during the cold War and even today. In Latin America it is almost impossible to avoid such jamming with ordinary SW radios, so widespread is the use of jamming by the USA of Cuban and other countries (Venezuela,Ecuador,etc) stations. There is a good point to this- At least it makes for good sampling material....

One thing that was a surprise to me was that the CRI was jamming Radio Yugoslavia in the 49 m band right up until it was shut down back in 2015. For me, this was quite unusual, since the program jammed was aimed at Serbian expatriates and had nothing to do with China. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not.

I remember as a very young boy when I first listened to short wave, it was both amazing and scary. I had no idea what some of the sounds were and to me they almost sounded evil. Even the sound from WWV (back then it seems it consisted of different kinds of digital sounds) made me turn the radio off to "prevent" that weird sound from coming into my room. Many years later I now prefer the static of an AM station over listening to FM. Indeed, after a satisfying career in radio, the many different sounds of radio are very well recognized and have become welcome.

As a child in the 1970s I can recall hearing many of these sounds all over the shortwave bands, and occasionally even on medium wave in the Middle East. I did not know that some jamming transmitters were repurposed at times to broadcast Radio Moscow and other Eastern Bloc country stations. The audio quality from those transmitters was usually poor. And now I know why.
