PACKET RADIO STATION - BUENOS AIRES (GF05OM)
PYTHON SCHEDULED NEWSLETTERS (PSN)

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
THE FREQUENCY WAS CLEAR WHEN MARCUS FIRST HEARD ITA SLOW, RHYTHMIC
TAP-TAP-TAP CUTTING THROUGH THE STATIC ON 40 METERS. NO CALL SIGN, NO
VOICE, JUST THE PATTERN REPEATING EVERY THIRTY SECONDS.
HE MENTIONED IT ON THE LOCAL REPEATER THAT EVENING. FRANK LAUGHED IT
OFF. "PROBABLY SOME KID PLAYING WITH A KEYER."
BUT BY MIDNIGHT, MARCUS HEARD IT AGAIN. AND THIS TIME, BETWEEN THE
TAPS, A VOICE WHISPERED HIS NAME.
HE SPUN THE DIAL, SEARCHING FOR THE SOURCE. THE SIGNAL STAYED LOCKED
ON HIS FREQUENCYNO MATTER WHERE HE TUNED. IT FOLLOWED HIM. HIS ANTENNA
WAS POINTED AT NOTHING BUT EMPTY SKY.
THE NEXT MORNING, HIS CALL SIGN APPEARED IN THE FCC DATABASE. EXCEPT
HE NEVER FILED IT. THE LICENSE WAS DATED 1952. THE PHOTO SHOWED A MAN
WHO HAD BEEN DEAD FOR THIRTY YEARS.
MARCUS PULLED HIS CALLSIGN FROM THE AIRWAVES THAT AFTERNOON. BUT
SOMETIMES, LATE AT NIGHT, HE STILL HEARS THE TAPS. THEY'RE SEARCHING
FOR A NEW VOICE NOW.
