The meaning of any messages sent over amateur radio needs to be clear to an outside observer. The specific rule is 47 CFR 97.113(a)(4): "No amateur station shall transmit: [...] messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning, except as otherwise provided herein."
So no, high-entropy random noise of substantial length wouldn't be allowed because the meaning of the message would be unclear and unknowable.
You also can't broadcast one-way messages per 97.113(b), and you're probably not having a two-way conversation with somebody via high-entrypy random noise. So there's also that.
- therein 2y agoWhat if you say it is to transmit high entropy random data generated at geographically remote locations, for peer to peer verification, for a well-announced long-running experiment to see if geolocation leads to biases in random number generation. Let's have Princeton PEAR sponsor it. Call it NCC20 for NotChaCha20.
