   Jamming would last right up until a nice little ARM homed on the jammer and   
   dumped a bucket of sunshine.   
      
   And while omnidirectional signals might get jammed, highly directional ones,   
   such as a modulated maser, are highly resistant outside interference. Point   
   the maser at a known, distant, relay point and let the relay do the ‘alert   
   the fleet’ broadcast.
