Question about low level flying

There was a crash yesterday of an EA-6B Prowler our of Whidbey Island Washington. It appears to have been doing some pretty low level, high speed flying. And that close to the ground leaves little room for error. I am curious why an electronic jamming plane would need to practice so low to the ground. You would think that the sending out of radio waves (jamming) would be more effective at greater heights, no?

Sadly we lost three brave USNA men in the accident.
