This reminds me of a book that Heinlein wrote once. Most of the people on Venus were indentured workers. Some of the workers had escaped and were out in the jungles planning some sort of revolt. Our hero is a lawyer who had signed up as a bet with one of his rich drinking buddies. He happens to be an excellent amateur radio operator, and eventually joins with the revolutionists. They have problems with radio communications, the authorities keep hearing them. He dredges up a memory of an OLD archaic radio method called "Amplitude Modulation" (These people are so advanced they only have FM, and have never heard of AM). AM is invisible to the bad guys so the good guys win because they can now communicate with no problems. --:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:- David Herron; ARPA-> "ukma!david"@ANL-MCS (Try the arpa address w/ and w/o the quotes, I have had much trouble with both.)
