The IIgs was my dream computer. I had the brochure for it and pretty much looked at it everyday for years!

And to give you a scale of the signal power .... the signal from your home wi-fi is billions of times stronger (I think ~10 billion IIRC) than the signal Earth receives from Voyager spacecrafts. It's incredibly feeble, so detecting it is a big feat!
Well done to this team!

Why this is neat?
Well, the Voyagers are so far away (human's furthest objects) that we need the biggest telescopes in the world (the Deep Space Network) to normally communicate with them. Those are big 70m dishes, so much larger gain.
A 25m dish, and the work of amateurs is a really nice story!

Incredible! I’m actually in the Southern Hemisphere (Sydney) for the first time in my life but I think I’ll have little chance to do any observing given all the clouds 😭
