Very good, Ed, thanks. I'm sure they use some sort of FEC encoding like
that of the JT software. If I understand that correctly, such a signal can
be decoded if it's a couple of s-units, say 10 db, below the noise level.
So with their ultra-low-noise gadgetry they should be able to hear it for
several million more miles.....?
