Yesterday, someone was banging at the closed door in the kitchen. Sounds weird, right? I absolutely understand that this was impossible, but there was a sort of irrational fear inside me. Like when you’re afraid of monsters under the bed as a child. I think such fears grow stronger the farther away you are from civilization. When you’re among others, as part of the society, even if you find a monster under the bed, you can tell someone about it. But when you’re alone in the dark every day, it doesn’t work that way. I’ll tell you what that “monster” was next time since the irregularities didn’t end with it. For example, someone’s jamming my signal, presumably from the Shoreline territory. It’s a hard trick to pull without powerful antennas. Try to look for satellite dishes, they most likely use something that looks similar. There should be at least two, about 400-450 meters away from each other.

I’ve checked the frequency, the signal is definitely being blocked by those towers. I just don’t understand why would someone need that…

Guide

Bring two Signal Jammers. One antenna is at the weather station, while the other is on the roof of the Health Resort west wing. Visit both locations in the same raid and place a jammer at each antenna.

Getting close enough to trigger the location check is only part of the task. Complete the placement interaction as well, then check all four objectives. Do not leave after finding only one source, as the two searches must be completed together.

The old Signal – Part 3 route included a third antenna near Road to Customs. That third placement is not an Ill-Wisher objective.
