Tracked by Wireless

Geoffrey Falconer, a freshly demobilised RAF officer turned experimental scientist, spends his evenings in a secluded laboratory tucked beneath his family’s ivy‑clad manor in Essex. There he has built an ultra‑sensitive wireless receiver, enhanced with his own secret microphone amplifier, that catches a strange, non‑Morse signal exactly at 7:18 p.m. each night—three repetitions of a baffling note that no one else seems to hear. As the clock ticks, Geoffrey pores over his diary, trying to determine whether the tone is a natural phenomenon, a distant transmission, or something far more deliberate.

The story unfolds in the atmospheric world of early twentieth‑century wireless research, where brass knobs, glowing tubes, and tangled wires create a backdrop of both nostalgia and cutting‑edge invention. Geoffrey’s lineage—son of a retired Oxford professor and heir to a historic Georgian house—adds a layer of expectation and responsibility to his quest. Listeners are drawn into his methodical investigation, the quiet tension of a mystery that repeats night after night, and the promise of uncovering a secret that could change more than just his experiments.
