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.
