Keeping it short and sweet is a good idea no matter what. You got any ideas on a code? Or anyone else reading this?

Dead letter drop = pre arranged and agreed location where you can leave messages and letter for others to pick up as and when needed, A physical notice board for want of a better description, often found at RZ's
A stealthy noticeboard system could be easily created using BoB-portable gear such as this..
..A handheld UV blacklight (preferrably LED) and UV marker pens.
I'd look at using public phone boxes as the bulletin board, as they're found all over the UK in the most rural location, and should still work during any sit-x as they are linked to a secured public communications network.

Fascinating, It appears that this forums prime choice of a bare bones reliable communication system for the post apoc world relies on electricty and generating systems, Transcievers, multiple encryption systems, a skill in aerial engineering. Nothing like keeping the system as simple as possible eh ?

Very well stated. That is the very problem. We are just used to long distance communication. Gone are the days of runners and news traveling as fast as horseback.
Until a person really decides how far does communication really, really needs to be seen or heard; it's speculation.

You would surprised by the amount of information than can be scribed onto road traffic signs at junctions with UV marker pens, hint hint.

What kind of range/distance/max. driving speed would be needed to see a UV scribed message? Could you get/make a UV spotlight torch with a beam that would enable you to read at 10mtr in low light/night?
