      …broadcast it upwards with a reasonably directional antenna, reflecting off the ionosphere. …broadcast it from a solar powered relay station which you access via optical link.

      (no a ham radio operator, but an anarchist)

      I feel sad for the Belarusian ham radio operators, however. In case of crisis, they would be the people who could help develop something interesting to help others. I guess KGB (they still have it) has decided that nothing interesting is needed in their land. :(

        you super stealthy nvis signal might not be noticed by anyone, including intended recipient, but your antenna farm made form 40m long wires certainly will

        You don’t seen to understand what the word “broadcast” means and you should probably stop pretending to understand how radio transmission works.

          Yes, let’s nitpick words. Broadcast implies that something is available to others. An ionosphere reflection definitely is. An agile frequency hopping signal conditionally is - if they know a key. Which would arguably make it unicast.

            New ideas and methods are going to be what people need to combat these crackdowns. Posing new thoughts is what people have to start attempting, even at the risk of ridicule. Not every innovative idea is a winner, but eventually a new method will solve the problem. Everyone should keep thinking about how to acheive untracible HAM radio.

          Yes, and immediately become subject for closer surveillance by doing so.

          My take, as mentioned in another reply: Retain plausible deniability by communicating in plain sight and use good old codebooks or similar techniques for the secret parts of your messages.
