Re: Often overlooked
In fact the combined mush might be indistinguishable from random noise.
Most digital transmission methods these days are designed to be (nearly) indistinguishable from noise. Makes them more efficient, less susceptible to dynamic interference and less likely to interfere with other things... on the earth.
I suppose we keep away from the frequencies used by the likes of Voyager, but if some eejit 'white space' device comes along, raising the noise floor even just a little could totally drown out such weak signals. At least a single-carrier AM, FM or PM signal could be 'notched' out...
