Swatch 2m Jamming

[Jerry Seligman]

Brian - Is the Swatch Co. really Swiss? There's been some talk on other mail
groups that they're actually German.

BTW some of those making comments on the reflector suggest various jamming
methods. First of all, that's impractical considering the speed and tiny size
of the target. Secondly, it's illegal. Fighting an illegal station with an
illegal signal does not represent the best of amateur radio. Please see the
special bulletin from the ARRL sent on April 1st (no it's not a joke).
