The antenna is incredibly strong (or would be if it got some sunlight) so it's important to not interfere with communications in deep space that we may want in the future and even sensors on earth. These scientists—I imagine—fell in love a long time ago from staring at the deep beauty of space; it'd be quite a shame if we drowned it out with our petty no-longer-useful noises.
