Couple Callsign Novels & Stories

Larry won last year. “And KOST-FM won Station of the Year in adult-contemporary. What are your call letters again, Johnny?” No one missed Melody’s intentional insult towards Jenny. “KKTM-FM,” Jenny answered for him. She’d had about all she could stomach of Melody’s attitude. “Oh, that’s right. Has KKTM ever won a Marconi?” “Well, since I’ve only been at the station for a few months, you’d have to check with public relations about that,” Johnny answered, as professionally as possible

He just stared at the glowing frequency numbers illuminating the small digital screen on the receiver. "What is that?" Kai asked, sitting up straight on the narrow leather bunk. The coarse wool blanket slid down his shoulders as he leaned forward into the red glow, his body instantly alert. "Is it the government tracking grid again? Did the Director break her word?" "No," the old man said, his voice dropping into a low, gravelly register. "This radio is hardwired to an old, obsolete maritime bandwidth. The feds don't use it. It’s an encrypted legacy channel. Only three people alive had the digital keys to this specific frequency. Your father, her father, and Silas Vance."

“I heard the call.” “Good,” I say. “We need every hand.” She doesn’t settle into the chair. Instead, she thrusts a phone toward Casen before she says anything else. “There's something wrong with the signals between our territory and the cities.” Casen takes the phone, thumbed by some jittery human habit. He frowns, swipes. Nothing. The signal shows. It’s normal, bars showing like any other city phone. He shrugs. “It’s fine,” he says, and then stops because she’s already leaning in.

I asked in a snarky voice. “Fine” He answered standing up and walking over to the phone and picking it up. They still used landlines in the catacombs, since cell phone service wasn’t great down here. “This is Dimitri, code Echo, Sierra, Tango, Hotel, Echo, Romeo. I couldn’t help the huge smile that spread across my face. The code to call out was my name. When he saw my smile he rolled his eyes, and let a small smile spread across his own face. He held out the phone for me to take it and make the call. “Code confirmed” The operator answered

She was oblivious to them, and I wasn't. The acutely embarrassed woman friend pulled her arm, and Miranda swung angrily from us to her. We took the brief opportunity and edged away around her back, and as we retreated, we could hear her shouting after us, her words indistinct above the music. It was then I heard Barklay shouting in my ear, his words accompanied by static. "The Eagles Has Landed. I repeat. The Eagles Has Landed." Corny, I know, but we had to come up with a call sign or password for Barklay to inform me that Katrin Cajthamlova had arrived at the main gates, giving me enough time to take my position in the attic.

I uttered “Why are you suddenly using what you used to call me? You should call me honey, sweetheart, or babe. Nope, anything is fine, just cast aside the babe because It's my brother-in-law's call sign. ” I wondered what had gotten in my fiance's head. He used to say he didn't want a call sign either, so why did he suggest it now? "I thought you didn't want a call sign either?" I sighed as my hand was anchored to his neck.

"The airspace denial protocol... It’s routing through the weather station terminal on the surface isn't it?" Julian blinked, his brain tracking my logic. "Yes... The vintage meteorological link! It’s a low-frequency backup loop.. Sierra that system uses an old telephone interface. We can't access it through the satellite proxy!" "We can if we use the biological frequency map " I said, leaning over Julians shoulder. "The molecular weight values for the hemoglobin alpha chain... My father used them to balance the carrier tone. Input the values into the radio panel, Julian! Force the planes transponder to mimic a transport!"

He didn’t forget the call their mommy had received. “Nope.” Marcus responded. Chris Jnr and Emm could hear the discussion in the background. “I don’t think we can receive calls here.” Vincent spoke up. He added, “Otherwise we would have received calls from mommy and daddy.” “Then… this…” Felicity pointed at the call that was in progress. “Must be a special connection.” Vincent shrugged. “Otherwise, I would’ve been able to call home.” The kids chatted for a while longer before hanging up. What they didn’t know was Vincent’s conjecture was on the money. There were signal jammers active around the inner circle. Emile’s phone operated on a different frequency since she was on the island belongin

The caller didn’t pick up or return the call I called twice and got no response.

Anything that came out of the back was ours. "ESU Actual to Chase Cars: we will be going radio dark in 3 minutes. Switch over to Statewide Police Emergency Network SPEN on Sergeant Kelly's mark." "Six-three David to Chase Units," I replied. "Call in with a your location on SPEN, in three – two – Mark." We switched over to SPEN and waited for them to check in. "Six-three Alpha in position, Sixth and Central." "Six-three India in position, Fifth and Central."
