suspect it was subterfuge or snitching. In any case the issue seems to be
'temporarily' resolved. Maybe it was an inefficient brute force grid search

or "S" meters hoping the vagaries of propagation don't too severely compromise
their efforts.

I'd think teenagers are involved and using their parents stations.

Why, because I would use my 1KW mobile, hit the freeways, cruise nearby
towns, drive in the country, etc., while "jamming." So, obviously, the
resources available to "these would be jammers" is rather limited.
