      Yeah sorry I meant like from different places in a city, not just not at home.

      It’s for sure rude and not something I’d try/recommend but we’re talking about espionage here.

      Am I wrong in thinking that if I wanted to propagate revolutionary thought and went to a different neighbourhood with an HT and transmitted to the local repeater, it would be hard for the state to find me if my transmission was less than 5 minutes?

        It just takes 3 or more synchronized receive stations to pinpoint your location. The state has an unlimited budget compared to you.

          3 synchronized receive stations to fix my location, and then what would they do?

            Ideally, if you planned your transmission well, they would conclude “about a thousand suspects live in this circle, but is the suspect a local?”. :)
