The ratio between K1 energy and K2 energy is the ratio between a sun's radiation falling on one planet and the sun's radiation over the entire sphere.
So a directional transmission with the beam angle of a planet from the sun at K1 power should look similar to an isotropic transmission with K2 power.
For earth, that angle is 0.0025 degrees, entirely possible with parabolic antennas.

- ianai 10y agoIt might take something orbiting Pluto to figure out though. I wouldn't know, but with the variables involved that seems possible.
