THE STATIC ON 14.250 MHZ ALWAYS CLEARED AT 3:17 AM.
ELIAS KNEW THIS BECAUSE HE'D BEEN LISTENING FOR ELEVEN NIGHTS. HE'D
BOUGHT THE YAESU FT-991 FROM AN ESTATE SALE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER,
W0MKE, HAD DIED AT HIS DESK. THE LOGBOOK WAS STILL OPEN.
TONIGHT, THE STATIC CLEARED. A VOICE CAME THROUGH. CALM. MEASURED.
READING A STRING OF NUMBERS. A NUMBERS STATION ON A HAM BAND, WHICH
SHOULDN'T EXIST.
THEN THE VOICE STOPPED.
"QRZ?" ELIAS SAID INTO HIS MIC. "WHO IS CALLING?"
A PAUSE. THE SIGNAL WAS S9 PLUS TWENTY. IMPOSSIBLY STRONG FOR A VOICE
TRANSMISSION AT THIS HOUR.
"ELIAS," THE VOICE SAID. "I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU."
HE FROZE. NO CALLSIGN. NO PHONETICS. JUST HIS FIRST NAME ON A
FREQUENCY MONITORED BY THOUSANDS.
"WHO IS THIS?"
THE VOICE SOUNDED TIRED. "I'M THE MAN WHO DIED AT THIS DESK. I LEFT
THE RIG ON FOR A REASON. DON'T LOOK OUT THE WINDOW."
ELIAS LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW.
THE ANTENNA WAS MOVING. THE TOWER HADN'T MOVED IN TWELVE YEARS, BUT
THE WIRE ELEMENTS WERE BENDING DOWNWARD, SLOWLY, LIKE SOMETHING HEAVY
WAS CLIMBING UP FROM THE GROUND. THE COAX CABLE WAS VIBRATING.
HE REACHED FOR THE POWER SWITCH.
"TOO LATE," THE VOICE SAID. "I TRIED TO WARN YOU TOO. THAT'S WHY I
KEPT TRANSMITTING. THAT'S WHY THE STATIC CLEARS. IT'S LISTENING FOR
ANYONE WHO RESPONDS."
THE VOICE ON THE OTHER END WAS HIS OWN.
THE COAX SNAPPED. THE SHACK WENT DARK. THE LAST THING HE HEARD, BEFORE
THE DOOR OPENED, WAS CQ ON EVERY BAND AT ONCE.
