Before we all get tied up in knots over this, keep in mind there can 
be a simple explanation other than intentional jamming. I've done it myself.

All that is necessary is to accidentally activate split, or forget to 
turn it off when going from run to S&P or vice versa. Some guys, 
myself included, prefer to use split rather than RIT when running. I 
embarrassed myself terribly some years ago while mobiling on 40 
meters, I was tuning up and down the band, calling CQ here and there 
thinking I was on simplex while all the time my TX was on split and I 
was jamming a net. This went on for half an hour before I tuned 
across the net and heard them calling me trying to get me to QRT. My 
face still gets red thinking about it.

I'm not saying this is what happened, just something to be aware of. 
This does not excuse the behavior or course, but it may reduce the 
crime from a felony to a misdemeanor. :-)
