Mass produce as many receivers you want and don't launch the ad-hoc satellite. How useful are the receivers?


I believe receiver use same tech as transmitter. When you have one, you must have the counterpart.

Humanity already could send radio waves across the planet. Emitter and receiver is not the hard problem.


There is always low range broadcast I suppose.
