Send a baloon in the upper atmosphere and use the polar ice to convert cosmic rays into radio. It's ingenious. ICE CUBE beats them all in coolness, of course.
Showing my ignorance. My understanding is that underground detectors are to filter out other particles that may interfere with any readings .... Using the ice sheet as a radio may increase the chance of detecting a neutrino, but won't that also increase the risk of detecting more interference from other particles?
