Is this about GPS (and other GNSS satellites) or about a JD correction signal? The GPS signal as such should not vary much under open sky but there could be interference of some kind. Unlikely Russian jamming covering UK.

Solar flares are getting the blame I phoned them and asked.
Mines working as normal again now

Sounds to me an easy excuse that farmers cannot easily prove wrong. Solar flares should affect poles of the earth more than other areas and I'm much further to the north than most of UK farmers and never observed solar flare issues affecting a modern four constellation receiver.

Retasking military satellites is usually the cause. Perhaps they are looking at exploding pagers?
