I understand that much of this is tongue-in-cheek, but just to add a touch of
reality.... My experience with jammers, when guest operating SSB contests from
big-gun stations, is that while 15 kW might get _your_ signal through, it
doesn't help if you can't hear stations calling you.
What did work for me was scrolling up in CT and pretending to work stations I'd
worked earlier, adding comments like, "Thanks, you're very loud, too." Nothing
breaks the heart of a jammer like thinking you don't even know he's there, and
not even being able to hear the stations you're running. :)
Everytime a vacuum cleaner showed up on my run frequency, this tactic got rid
of it in a hurry.
