radioed
Sent via airwaves
Radioed is the past tense of radio, meaning to transmit a message by radio communication: The pilot radioed the control tower for permission to land.
The word appears most often in contexts involving ships, aircraft, or emergency services—situations where radio remains the primary means of contact: She radioed for backup.
