The Radio Detectives
About This Book
A group of enthusiastic teenage experimenters immerse themselves in early wireless technology, building receivers and following enigmatic transmissions that include repeated flower names. Their hobby becomes an investigation as they trace clandestine signals, test phone interception, explore undersea wireless lines, and uncover hidden operations. Technical tinkering, misdirection, and peril culminate in a confrontation beneath a river, dramatic discoveries, and a resolution that includes confessions and personal proposals. The narrative combines hands-on science, mystery, and adventure as the youths apply ingenuity to solve the puzzling broadcasts.
