Good reply, but..
Regarding 1: In the article, they describe an antenna that is MORE sensitive than the normal antennas. So you may not be able to detect the low frequency radio-waves without a similar sensitive apparatus.
Regarding 2: There is the problem that Electric signals can have high similarities with the "Chirps" that LIGO is looking for.
For example: even in space, you can find all kinds of "chirps" caused by solar plasma. google "noises from space".
- tobinfricke 7y ago1. I took a look at the attached article. The device they describe is an optomechanical setup specifically engineered to be very sensitive to radio waves. LIGO, by contrast, is engineered to be sensitive to gravitational waves and not radio waves. 2. This point is valid.
