How would they find out ?
A high powered antenna that transmits a lot of “static” would be a dead giveaway.
It’s not really static. It’s digital, the transmission scheme has structure. It’s only the transmitted data that is encrypted, but you’d have to first unpack the transmission to get to the data.
I understand. I was replying to how gov agencies would find out. Any digital transmission is basically “static” to an analog receiver.
True, you could send encrypted data via morse code. Nothing but a pure tone.
