Yes, you're probably right, Peter. The absolute signal level hitting
the receiver might be on par with the backscatter from a real target,
but the large bandwidth difference would allow for filtering out the
CW counter-jamming (my memory is fuzzy, but I seem to recall the
bandwidth of the UA Woodpecker being on order of 100 to 200 KHz
wide).
