Yup. Make the signal strength so low you have to be in the minefield to
detect it. Nasty.

Strikes me that, if you've got landmines jumping 10 meters in the air,
what you actually need is to make sure each platoon has someone with a
shotgun and that they do regular skeetshooting practice :). Drop a
mortar shell in the middle to start the ball rolling. "pull!"
