  • I understand what you mean, but I’m not sure that is meant by obscuring the meaning of the signal.

    Morse code is a way of sending unobscured information, everyone who listens in and knows how to interpret it can see what is transmitted - so the transmission is not obscured. SSTV is gibberish if you listen to it, but everyone can decode it into a picture if they use the public known way on how to do it. It’s even worse when you think about what obscuring the meaning entails. You are not allowed to run a number station, because everything you send doesn’t mean anything, since your number codes are obscuring the meaning of the message.

    Also law is interpreted by the government and if the agency in charge says they see that as an interdiction of cryptography the only way to challenge that would be in court since they would just fine you or take away your license for encrypting anyway.
