We used to neutralize this problem by me telephoning the person who
was getting jammed, me listening to him on the telephone, me turning
down my audio gain to zero so as not to hear the sociopaths, him
listening to me either on the air or on the phone, leaving the VOX on
at both ends, and carrying on the conversation as before. With this
arrangement, the jammers disappeared. // The idea for this approach
came from a telephone conversation with the West Coast's most
infamous and most innovative jammer, Jeffery Scott Hillmann, AI6K.
a.k.a. "Julio", a CW contester of notable proficiency, who told me
that not getting attention was the jammer's Achilles' heel. To his
credit, Jeff overcame the maleficent effect of having a realtor-mom,
became a physician and is now practicing in Florida. Congrats "Julio".

Amen, Jim, but it is easier for me to carry on a real conversation.

The most effective jamming signal is playing a tape recording of the
voice of the person talking. This tidbit was discovered by the
Russkys during the Cold War. They call it mayak-jamming. .
