Clark smiled as she asked her questions and made her observations. She obviously had a keen inquisitive mind, just like Lois. “You are right. It’s a wireless phone. There is a small radio in the handset that communicates with the base station on a paired radio frequency,” he pointed at the module on the wall, “they are both two-way radios, but with a very short range.”
“Lamont has shortwave radios in his cars and Burbank monitors the frequencies we use. Lamont uses them to keep in contact with Burbank and if he needs to call the police. The radios we have are much larger." As she turned it over and over in her hands, examining it, she asked, "How do you replace the tubes in this?” The comparsion between the two technologies blow my mind! Sad to say, I remember vacuum tubes from my parents first television set.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Hi Morgana, Thanks for the FDK! Clark smiled as she asked her questions and made her observations. She obviously had a keen inquisitive mind, just like Lois. “You are right. It’s a wireless phone. There is a small radio in the handset that communicates with the base station on a paired radio frequency,” he pointed at the module on the wall, “they are both two-way radios, but with a very short range.”
“Lamont has shortwave radios in his cars and Burbank monitors the frequencies we use. Lamont uses them to keep in contact with Burbank and if he needs to call the police. The radios we have are much larger." As she turned it over and over in her hands, examining it, she asked, "How do you replace the tubes in this?” The comparsion between the two technologies blow my mind! Sad to say, I remember vacuum tubes from my parent’s first television set. I added this bit after you did your beta. You made the suggestion to emphasize the technological differences, so it's all your fault. I hate to admit it, but my father was an electronics technician and TV repair man. As a teen I helped him test and replace tubes in radios and TVs.
