Hmmm. When I was at Stanford, my undergraduate advisor was researching the composition of the rings of Saturn by performing signal processing on radio waves emitted by by the Voyager spacecraft as they passed through the rings while the probe flew by the planet.

That means detecting an 18W transmitter at a distance of 1.2 billion kilometers.

Think the human ear could match that? :-)
