Cell phone snooping they say, but that seems easier from the ground.

Ship the equipment in, inside an unsuspecting container, on a container ship from China headed for the US. Send two spys in as tourists. Have them rent a truck, pick up the equipment, and just drive it around in target areas.

Buy an apartment in some Highrise for best reception. Anonymously register it to a shell company based in a tax heaven. UV Gov will think this is 'legal' tax evasion just like thousands of landlords.

Put any equipment you want inside generic chest on a balcony.
