[QUOTE="SelfSim, post: 74778721, member: 354922"] Sure .. its an issue alright (referred to as Acquisition, Tracking and Pointing - ATP). Some folk propose that he might continuously keep transmitting his position co-ordinates relative to nearby pulsars in order to keep others updated on his expected location (and for them to use that information for pointing their laser detectors). Depends on the design of the antenna and how widespread the tx spectrum was. If an isotropic radiating antenna was used, then I'd think it would be very difficult to isolate its location in a background of RF noise. [/QUOTE]
