Ok this is stranger. Yesterday I purchased - from a bookshop that should have known better - a first edition book by the naturalist Edwin Way Teale. It was all of $5. When I opened it, I found an original signed letter by Teale - about moth radio! It was assumed by some (not Teale) that moths might communicate by radio - hence the odd antennae. This was in the late 40s early 50s. The book is Near Horizons: Story of an Insect Garden. I'm taking it out to CA with me; will do something related to moth radio and VLF I'm sure...
