don't bow down to the almighty dollar, just Her Majesty :)

Surely on your side of the pond you could claim freedom of speech or
whatever?

Also, what if you use a nice long sample of noise known to both parties and
use that as your carrier. Sync the transceivers with a sine carrier, before
changing to one that will hopefully be indistinguishable from background
noise if you don't known the magic DWORDs? Ok, this is probly illegal,
but...
