As someone suggested above - just use low power FM? We have the technology!

Can such method also work with radio frequencies ?

Listen to unintentional radio emissions of various devices: https://youtu.be/5N1C3WB8c0o?t=17m48s

Maybe it didn't use a radio signal.

Use a numbers station and shortwave.

Could you tune in to the radio transmissions?

What exactly makes this "hard via radio"?

brians Aug 27, 2017 View on HN

Not in a radio station. Those typically trigger from RF.

Run a low power spark gap transmitter nearby to prevent snooping lol
