Each lightning network site hosts an 8 - to 12 - foot antenna that registers frequencies in the 10
kilohertz band, and sends that information to a sound card on an Internet - connected laptop.
Today the picture of the radio spectrum is a color - coded colossus composed of hundreds of
bands allotted by the FCC from frequencies as low as 6
kilohertz to as high as 300 gigahertz.
