A transmit signal can be distorted with non-linear distortion, and one or more characteristics of the non-linear distortion can be periodically changed in accordance with a change key. The transmission received at a receiver can thus comprise a severely distorted version of the transmission of the transmit signal. A receiver with the same change key can recognize and decode the transmission, but it can be extraordinarily difficult for receivers that lack the change key to detect and decode the transmission. The transmission can be a communications while jamming (CWJ) transmission. The CWJ transmission can contain a coded message that can be decoded only by friendly RF receivers, and the CWJ transmission can also jam unfriendly RF receivers that lack a change key for decoding the coded message.
