Three points define a circle. The diameter tells the strength of the
jamming signal. The center defines the location.

And if the jammer is attached to, saY a radiosonde balloon or 

other light aircraft and the footprint covers most of the US?

Stop thinking terrestrially.

That would be extremely effective, and over a broad area, but then they will probably not run for weeks.
