I saw a Youtube video of it and I am not convinced. There is a lot of digital noises etc on the bands nowadays especially 40m. The poster sounded like a disgruntled ex-pat. The QRM was spaced exactly every 5 KHz whereas any jamming I have ever heard, and it has been a LOT going back almost 50 years, was wideband and either hash noise or sweeping audio tones. The jamming claimed in the video could be worked around with decent filters.

Oh they probably could, just not likely IMHO. In the Cold War days there was a LOT of jamming going on and it was all wideband. Having narrowband discreet carriers is easy to avoid.
