See "Neutrinos To Jupiter II" here.
The receiver is a thick four-inch disc;
Theor inhabits a darkness absolute to human eyes;
he presses a button and replies;
crystals vibrate;
electrons leap;
energy from the disintegrating isotope becomes a broad-wavelengthed radio signal;
this wave, conducted by ground forced into strange allotropes by pressure, cold and material composition, activates a neutrino generator and broadcaster;
pulses reach the relay satellite;
sensitive detectors and powerful amplifiers modulate the radio beam and transmit it to Aurora on Ganymede;
Fraser hears, seven seconds after speaking.

And such a system might work for human explorers on the Jovian surface!
