A.A.M + PGP = covert radio transmitter which sends coded messages.  Obviously
interesting, so you direction-find to defeat the anonymity.

[Moderator's note: And how would you possibly do that? --Perry]

Stego = signalling via called-in requests to a commercial music radio station.
Not interesting.


Sure its extra work but high risk requires high effort.
Strong-anonymous broadcasting takes work too.
