Which leads to another interesting "war story."  A friend of mine was
an electronics officer on an Intruder.	He related a story of how in
an exercise with the French he was jamming on a full spectrum to cover
all of the "variable frequencies" even though he knew exactly what 
frequency the French were using.  On an unjammed administrative channel
he was radioing the French and asking about the effectiveness of the
jamming.  Well, the French ignored him until he took all of the
Intruder's jamming power, across all of the frequencies, and put it on
the one frequency they were using.  He said he got immediate feedback
from the French operators since he had set their equipment on fire.

Hmmm.
