Complications regarding Radio Comms

[OpSecRadio]

Hi Ned

I pretty much agree with most of that. There is no one size fits all. I'll be monitoring CB and VHF/UHF - without giving away my location. I'll have the capability to respond should I need to. I hope to eventually add a HF/CW transceiver for long distance/international comms, again to monitor for intel but also to communicate if necessary.

I want to cover as many bases as possible, as cheaply as possible. You can rarely have too many options as long as you use sensibly and dont divulge too much info or your location (I know you could be traced by triangulation but moving locations when you transmit will help with that - hence need kit to be as portable as possible).

I seem to remember that it was a radio ham with a HF radio that broke the news that the Falklands had been invaded and managed to provide good intel to UK forces prior to them taking the islands back
