Alas, poor Oleg! When Soviet intelligence raided his apartment, said Pravda, they found three miniature cameras for photographing documents, code books, chemically treated paper for sending invisible messages, radios to receive instructions from spy headquarters in Frankfurt and transmit "information about the U.S.S.R.'s scientific, technical, war and political problems."

Loud Stars. Most true stars in the Milky Way galaxy maintain fair radio silence, but a few of them transmit powerful radio waves that have the astronomers baffled. About half a dozen radio stars have been identified optically, and they prove to emit peculiar assortments of visible light. Astrophysicists are busily studying these spectra, hoping to find some connection between them and the stars' radio loudness...
...these gifts might have destroyed the quality in Griffin that finally lends his writing such force: his almost self-effacing modesty, and his real decency. He describes for us a world that we will never see, and uses his personality simply to transmit the Negro's experience. And if the experience of being a Negro in the South is an almost unbearably ugly one, that makes it all the more essential that we leave our own comfortable world long enough to learn about...

Quine mentions this possibility in the introduction to his Methods of Logic: Newman, as a writer with his finger on the mathematical pulse of science ought to transmit to non-scientists what he can about notions like these...
...Raytheon task force in painstakingly devising a tiny bit of metal shaped like a thumb tack and mounting it so that its stem pressed on a transistor's sensitive spot. This device, smaller than a pinhead, performed as an excellent microphone. It can be made to transmit music faithfully, and can even pick up ultrasonic sounds to which the human ear does not respond...
