I certainly wouldnt want to be the one transmitting any signal. if the Russians moved in with troops the moment you transmitted anything you'd be located in millisecond and they would take out the 1 kilometer grid reference you were in within afew minutes.
Quoting: Smudger HF is one of the more secure ways to transmit and not get caught, especially in this grid-down and EMP'd scenario. Radiolocation with HF is a bit problematic, and much more so with this scenario. Typically you need to be within line of sight to get a good bearing on a transmitter. Direction finding teams need a few things to work. Trained people, working DF equipment, and support. All these things are at risk in the grid-down scenario. A way of defeating radiolocation is the "shoot and scoot" tactic. Drive out to some place, transmit, then never go back there again. I come from royal signals back ground and 15 years ago the very second you transmitted the Russians would of DF'ed you 3 million times regardless of HF or VHF. The way you survive on the battlefield was using EW tactics by setting up a wall of radio signals which effectively covered your transmission. This is where you'd the "shoot and scoot" tactics which is very dangerous job as it's front line and if you get delayed you're dead.
