Compleatly new to radio comms...

Dont forget that if you have a lot of confidential info to pass to another person the wisest and easiest option is to say.

"Hello XXXX this is W & C, meet me at RZ Meeting place Y, OUT " dont tell anyone owt you dont need to, keep the calls short, once you have finished, listen briefly for other call signs or calls of "ON THE SIDE" then turn off the radio and move location.

No real names, no real places, no real 6 fig GRs, no phone numbers, no long transmissions.

Good advice NR.
Takes me just 3 seconds to get a DF bearing with home built gear.
In case people are wondering how, look at this little link http://www.homingin.com/newdopant.html
This is a kit. Easily made.
There are other sites full of diagrams, parts lists, and construction details of many types of active DF kits out on the internet.

Mine cost me £40 to make.

Now just think about what GCHQ and OFCOM have access to?

Cheers Paul,

This re-emphasises what NR is saying about radio OPSEC. Ie, keep it short and keep it away from your refuge location.

This is another arguement for remoting a transmitter and using a very low power out of band uplink.
