To beat them, you must keep open a "listen/broadcast" channel. NEVER broadcast for more than 2-3minutes every 8 hours. NEVER.You can't expect undisciplined civilians to observe this kind of schedule; besides, if you use the 40 or 80 Meter bands (7 Mhz and 3.8 MHZ respectively) there is usually enough skywave to raise havoc with DF operations that you're safe for short, infrequent comms well short of 8 hours apiece.
There is a network of beaccons just above the 80 M band (4.096 MHz area) that I defy anyone to DF and locate! It's not quite that easy ... moving up to 20M with good propagation and this becomes even more fun ... but preferences run to 40 or 80 Meters for 'theater' operations that can be run without repeaters on tall comm towers that normally yield 40 - 60 mile range.
Jim, with all due respect, if the signal can be heard, it can be found. It is the element of warfare that the US has no equal.
These are military assets and have not been deployed in civilian law enforcement actions by the FCC. However, a truly fascist regime would not hesitate...IF the military goes along.
