Clearly, in using amateur radio, the Resistance will violate every one of these requirements. Resistance use of amateur radio is effectively “pirate radio.” There are two major problems with such operation.

First, as with any radio transmission, the signals can be detected by the government. Moreover, the transmitter can be located if it stays on the air long enough, and stays in one place. Thus use of radio is vulnerable to government direction finding

Second, such pirate use of amateur radio frequencies will antagonize legitimate Ham operators, not only in your country, but in other countries as well, especially if your operation exceeds legal transmitter power limits. This will counteract your attempts to gain support from your fellow countrymen as well as people elsewhere. This negative effect should be taken into account before deciding whether to use amateur radio frequencies for Resistance communications.

The book by Ingram provides information on selecting and using radio communications.

Nevertheless, if such pirate operation is kept limited in scope, and the transmitters are moved frequently, amateur radio, or any of the alternatives that might be available, provides a means of broadcasting information to various elements of the Resistance. In many countries, transmitters and receivers can be bought openly. A license is usually not required to buy the equipment, but only to operate it. If the equipment cannot be bought openly, there are numerous sources of information on how to construct amateur radio transmitters and receivers. Publications of the American Radio Relay League are a good source. Amateur radio magazines, published in many languages, often carry information on building transmitters and receivers. Parts can often be salvaged from old radios and TV sets. The Resistance can make use of radio communications if the benefits outweigh the risks.

Physical Form of the Communication

In the past, a form of clandestine communication used by spies involved photographic reduction of the size of the message. The use goes back to the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, when Paris was under siege. Messages were reduced photographically and carried out of the city by carrier pigeon. Far more messages could be transmitted this way than had the pigeon carried the original document. Between World War I and World War II, the technology had developed to the point that a written page could be reduced to the size of a period and glued over a period or over the dot above an i or j, then read under a microscope, or blown up to normal size, by the recipient. Such a microdot would likely be missed by a postal or customs inspector examining mail or other documents.

With the advent of digital cameras and scanners, many of the camera and film developing methods of Twentieth-Century spies are obsolete. However, the principles remain valid, and can be used effectively by Resistance forces equipped with computers, digital cameras and scanners, and reasonably high-quality ink-jet or laser printers.

Typed Page Size Reduction

You may be dealing with a document that you have prepared yourself, or have obtained from some other source. To make it easier to transmit this document, you should reduce it in size.
