E Boats for Sealion

[fastmongrel]

Jamming Pipsqueak wouldn't be easy it could be tuned to different frequencies by fitting one of a set of crystal oscillators before taking off. Different squadrons used different frequencies so the LW would need to know what frequencies were being used and jamming one frequency leaves the other squadrons clear.

One of the things I learned during my military service is how radio signal jammers can be easily DF'd. Anything that transmits continually for 40 to 60 seconds can be locked in on & triangulated. Two points triangulated gives you a vector & possible destination. This ad hoc jamming method for Pipsqueak sounds like a 'here I am' transmission. The Brits were already triangulating LW aircraft transmissions while forming up over France. they can adapt to doing so as the bomber groups cross the coast & approach their targets.
