Do you think it shows that I'm not an Engineer?

This thread has been fun. But all seriousness aside, when I suggested to my
employer that locating such a pulse would be a tremendous public relations
effort, I was told that they would have no problem putting me on the next
spacecraft heading out 95 light years away. They would even be willing to
let me take some of my Radar Engineers gear!   Isn't that great? ?

The book Earth As a Distant Planet talks about this, too.  Two things
jumped out at me.

It states the U.S. Naval Space Surveillance radar (the picket fence radar
located in the Midwest) would be detectable now at 60 light years distance,
with an Arecibo type antenna.

There is also an estimate that the Starfish atomic test from the early
'60's could be detected in X-ray emissions out 400 AU.  I haven't done the
math but 400 AU is probably not all that far in light years.

Of all the comments on this topic so far, Mr. Haas' have been the best.
