Each ship, both speedster and mother craft, was equipped with an invisibility locator, a sensitive short-wave directional receiver, that would permit the operator to direct his rays at invisible targets. The ships themselves could not be made invisible, since they depended in their very principle on the absorption of light-energy.
There was one man awake, on stand-by watch. A radio glowed beside him a short-wave unit, tuned to the frequency used by all the bases of all the nations on Antarctica English, French, Belgian, Danish, Russian. The stand-by man yawned. There was nothing to do. "There's no story in my work," said Soames politely. "I work with this wave-guide radar. It's set to explore the sky instead of the horizon.
Dabney disavows us unless we are successful. Let us let it go at that." Then he said: "The observatory's set to track?" A muffled voice said boredly, by short-wave from the observatory up on the crater's rim: "We're ready. Visual and records, and we've got the timers set to clock the auto-beacon signals as they come in." The voice was not enthusiastic.
And cost the life of one of the finest men in the system. Jehnson's family get a permanent pension just twice his salary, McLaurin. In the meantime " "What was it? Pure heat, but how?" "Pure radio. Nothing but short-wave radio directed at us.
Joe told Brent: "Another nice job, that! We sent it backward, slowing it a little. It'll have a new orbit, independent of ours and below it. But come sixty hours it will be directly underneath. We'll haul it up and refuel it. And our friends the enemy will hate it. It's a radio repeater. It'll pick up short-wave stuff beamed to it, and repeat it down to Earth. And they can try to jam that!"
The doctor, notified by the truck's short-wave, was waiting in the admiral's office to give Hanlon the shots of antidote and attend to his wounds. He had barely finished when a waiter brought food. These two gone, Hawarden felt free to demand of Hanlon, "Open up, please. What's this all about?" "Full coverage?" Hanlon asked meaningly. The admiral flipped a couple of toggle switches on his desk.
"You can't stop me. Everything's fixed. In a minute a bomb'll go off. You, I, everyone will be smashed to atoms. And I'm glad. For the fatherland." "We know why you're doing it," Taylor said. "Come on, Masters. Get your short-wave working. Notify the factory office. Where's the bomb, Norden? Come on, speak up, or I'll pull you to pieces!" Norden said nothing. Masters was calling the office.
It will be sent here as soon as it arrives." Soames wondered numbly just how indiscreet she'd been, in a short-wave conversation that could be picked up by any of the other-nation bases that cared to listen in. But, just then, Gail came out of the ship. "Brad," she said anxiously, "what are the boys doing?" Soames knew only too well.
A flood of Nazi propaganda sent on short-wave beams is directed at Central and South America from Germany. In Spanish, German, Portuguese and English, regular programs are sent across at government expense. Government subsidized news agencies flood the newspapers with "news dispatches" which they sell at a nominal price or give away.
But there was much more. There was the fact that direct radio communication with the Earth, around the curve of the Moon, was impossible the Tovies didn't like radio-relay orbiters, useful for beamed, short-wave messages. They had destroyed the few unmanned ones that had been put up.
