At 10m to 187m, the antenna requirements for shortwave radio are *really* impractical for use inside a venue. ("Shortwave" really was short, back when the term was coined!)

Consider any kind of wireless device that is not a cell phone off-limits. Don't even bother bringing them. Event management does not have time to investigate your equipment to verify it will not interfere with whatever they're using. They're going to tell you to shut it down, and they won't be interested in your protests or arguments.

Sit together, assign people in shifts to relay messages, develop a hand signal system if you need it.

Don't. Even. Think. About carrier pigeons.
