Where do you want me to start? AN/SLQ-32(V)3 operations, AN/SLQ-32(V)3
maintanence(NEC's 1733/1734), USN Surface Electronic Warfare Basic (A),
USN Surface Electronic Warfare Advanced, various JAMEX's, Tracking
exercises, 6 yrs of sailing all over the world zapping various types of
airborne, shipborne, and ground based emitters.
It was my job for a loooong time and still do ops in the Air Guard. Fun
stuff. Thats how the hobby started. Lot's of free time at sea, and lot's
of nice test equipment.

So how does being a speed radar instructor enable you to locate jammers?

I'll believe you there. The FCC will only moved when forcefully pushed
or when there is an immediate threat (like the idiot in Richmond, Va.
who went to the airport waving off landing jets). I used to think they
had a SWAT team ready to do battle but for now they seem more interested
in cell phone cloners and procedural stuff.
