About This Book

A group of boys fascinated by wireless radio go to a mountain community where their experiments and a local radio station become crucial amid danger. They face natural hazards such as a bear encounter and a snowslide, confront local bullies and a conspiracy, and deal with damaged lines and mechanical challenges. When a midnight distress signal is received, their technical skills and quick improvisation enable a coordinated rescue effort. The episodic tale combines practical explanations of early wireless work with action-driven episodes that highlight teamwork, resourcefulness, and problem-solving.
