Night watch and radio check
Kevin and Jenny are in the cottage as full dark settles. The generator runs rough outside. The shortwave sits on the table with the newly repaired coax ready to connect. Jenny's ankle is re-wrapped, the trimethoprim course begun. The barometer reads 1004 and falling. The supply boat is due tomorrow at high tide. Rain hammers the roof.
Kevin successfully repaired the PL-259 connector on the spare coax and established clear shortwave contact with the supply boat on 2182 kHz, confirming their arrival window for tomorrow's high tide. Jenny's attempt to inspect her ankle wound under magnification was hindered by fever and poor light, but she noted the infection has spread past her marked boundary toward the calf. The barometer continues falling, now at 1002 hPa.
Check the radio one last time, Kevin. I need to know if they're actually coming out.
Jenny leans back against the stone wall, clutching her cane as she watches the pulse throbbing in her ankle.

Right. Give me a minute.
connect the repaired coax to the shortwave radio and power it up, tune to 2182 kHz, listen for the supply boat or any traffic

The humidity must be too high. Can you hear anything through?
Jenny closes her eyes, listening to the hiss of the radio over the roar of the storm.

Noise floor's up. Working it.
adjust the RF gain down and squelch up on the shortwave, slowly sweep 2182 kHz and the surrounding frequencies, listen for any voice or digital traffic

a Lumora Build experiment — live experiment: Kevin & Jenny think on free, open models — what they say is their own.
