Radio atmospheric Sferics received from about distance or greater have their frequencies slightly offset in time, producing "tweeks". When the electromagnetic energy from a sferic escapes the Earth-ionosphere waveguide and enters the magnetosphere, it becomes dispersed by the near-Earth plasma, forming a whistler signal. Because the source of the whistler is an impulse (i.e., the sferic), a whistler may be interpreted as the impulse response of the magnetosphere (for the conditions at that particular instant). A lightning channel with all its branches and its electric currents behaves like a huge antenna system from which electromagnetic waves of all frequencies are radiated. Beyond
Radio Waves (song) experiments with the phone and is able to access computers and speech synthesizers, he learns to speak through them. He calls a radio station in L.A. named Radio KAOS, a completely fictitious radio station based in Los Angeles and tells them of his abilities and his life story throughout the album. Radio Waves (song) "Radio Waves" is the opening track from Roger Waters' second solo studio album, "Radio K.A.O.S." It was chosen as the lead single for the album, released worldwide in May 1987. "Radio Waves" introduces the main character, Billy, a disabled man who finds a way to talk
