Sometime between the mid 60s and early 70s an American soldier recorded tapes
for his sweetheart at home. He not only has to struggle with loneliness, but also with
the adversity of the chosen communication method.
By that, about 30% of the information is dominated by the medium itself.

In front of a video projection the idiosyncrasies of CB radio are documentarily examined and staged in a fictional plot.
A reader clarifies the facts, while a radio operator with the nickname Jim Jones is in contact with Rocky.
Some customs of this social network may seem strange, others too well known.
"CQ, CQ - general Call. Jim Jones here."
The medium is the message. Unfortunately there´s also troll-like sabotage, that malignantly interferes the radio communication.
