Well, the satellites were *above* and the jammers *below* so its not that tricky. There's descriptions of the Mk-3 Tomahawk's antijamming ability out there. The proper use of a GPS jammer is *not* CW when you're fighting the US. The proper use is to switch them on when a spotter lets you know about incoming. Preferably you are in a nonbombable area (mosque, hospital, etc) when you switch on, and you promptly move after the incoming goes off. The goal being to increase bad PR, ie collateral damage aka civvy corpses. (Before Al Jazeera is accidentally bombed off the air.)
