THE CARD
CONFIRMING EVERY CONTACT
The card carries the falls of the Big Sioux River, where the water cuts through the pink Sioux quartzite the whole region is built on — the same stone in the courthouse, the cathedral, and half the old storefronts downtown. Work me and one comes your way.
WHERE THE SIGNAL COMES FROM
GRID EN13NI
Lennox sits on open farmland south of Sioux Falls — low horizon in every direction, which is as much antenna advantage as terrain can give you.
QUARTZITE COUNTRY
The pink stone in the card art is 1.7-billion-year-old Sioux quartzite, exposed where the Big Sioux River drops about a hundred feet through the middle of the city.
PRAIRIE PROPAGATION
Zone 4 in the middle of the continent: long paths to Europe over the pole, easy runs into the Pacific after dark.
