Well that just sucks.
And makes me wonder how other civilizations could hear us. I thought Earth was putting out as much radio energy as a star. By the time it travels to say, Sirius (@ 8 light years away) does that mean it would be too weak to even detect? Maybe Sirians couldn't piece together anything intelligent, but at least know that some sort of artificial radio was coming from here?

Besides, granting ever diminishing radio signal strength via "Fermi Paradox", ...then the universe could be awash in weak radio signals and we'd not be able to detect it. Would that not be so?
