[RTTY] Jammers

[Bill Turner]

Listening to HK0NA on 40 meters tonight, I got the feeling that the 
jammers are getting more clever.

There was a period when at least four stations in a row called 
repeatedly right on the transmit frequency. Of course, the kops jumped 
in with their UP UP UP (even though he was listening down) and made an 
unholy mess out of things.

I think the jammer had preset macros with four different callsigns and 
just sent them one after the other. Perfect kop bait. And very successful.

The format of the macros was exactly the same - same number of 
callsigns, each ended with K.  What are the odds?  The signal strength 
was about the same too, although a clever jammer would vary his power 
with each transmission.

Don't know the answer to this one, except to try to track 'em down.
