== Notes ==
 
* Jigger is a colloquialism as the [[Wiktionary:jigger|term itself]] means to confuse or interfere with a function, in this case [[DRADIS]] scanning. The term originates from nautical sources, namely the [[Wiktionary:Jiggermast|jiggermast]]: the aft-most mast of a multi-masted sailing ship.
