I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

We were forced to use offset aiming points to either side of the target and jamming spoke. Occasionally we got luck and the H2S and the jammer freqs were different and the jammer was ineffective. I do remember one attack when I had forgotten it was to be jammed and my offsets were in the jamming beam. now that did cause problems.
