Uncoil the wire antenna, plug in a DASSK speech tape, and run it for an hour, then pack it up and move on to the next site.   Even if the broadcasting radius was only a few kilometers, or even a few hundred meters, think of how many people in a city like Rangoon or Mandalay would get to hear it.

They would be invisible to the junta, yet everywhere for the people.  A hundred of these devices would drive the dictators crazy.  Word would get around of when and where to hear the broadcasts, and everyone would start to listen.  Play tapes of DASSK speeches, music, news reports, etc, just run the tape player th

I think the heaviest and bulkiest part would be the high-voltage transformer, the rest would be mostly chips.  Even if it took two backpacks of equipment, then two people could meet up and set it up somewhere.  If it can be done technically, all we need is funding.  There are plenty of people here ready to carry a basket of "fish" or "tobacco leaves" across the border and into Rangoon.
