Not to counter the point you're making, because it's valid. Just tossing in some info:

> sent via HAM radio

You probably want to transmit your private key in a secure manner. HAM radio is not a good way to do this: http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-dismisses-encryption-petition

what's being transmitted is a signed transaction, they are not encrypted. They can be safely transmitted on a postcard.

You are correct in that technically HAM does not allow for encrypted communications, but that's not an issue here, and probably would be very low on the list of concerns in a situation where your only comms channel is HAM.

You don't transmit your private key.
