Abstract

In one aspect, wellbore apparatus is disclosed that includes: a conduit in the wellbore that has a non-liquid medium therein; and a transducer that is configured to transmit radio frequency signals through the medium. In another aspect, a method is disclosed that includes: placing a conduit in the wellbore that contains a non-liquid medium therein; and transmitting information in the form of radio frequency signals through the medium.
