Leo realized he didn'tHe spent the night tuning the length of his antenna’s rods. He adjusted them to exactly half the wavelength of his carrier frequency—a . The Transmission

Should the story focus on or ground waves?

curled around it, locking into a perpendicular dance.

He held the , a makeshift antenna he’d built from scavenged copper mesh and a cracked ceramic insulator. His village was starving, and the only hope was a rumored supply cache on the other side of the Iron Peaks. He needed to send a signal—not a shout, but a wave. The Problem

The peaks were made of magnetite. Every time Leo tried to broadcast, the mountains swallowed the signal. He knew the theory: his waves were being by the terrain before they could escape the valley. The Breakthrough

Leo stood on the edge of the Silent Zone, a valley where the air felt heavy and "stale." In this world, the Great Interference had scrambled the atmosphere, making long-distance digital communication a myth of the ancestors.

As the sun rose, Leo hoisted the Lighthouse. He felt the invisible tension in the air. He began to oscillate the electrons in the wire. pushed outward, vertical and sharp.
