I think even 100 years ago, a kilowatt microwave transmitter would probably draw attention to itself by the way that eggs explode and cups of water boil when near it.
- nradov 6y agoYou would have to stand right next to a 1kw microwave transmitter to notice any heating effects. That wouldn't help you locate it at any distance.
- VBprogrammer 6y agoFair point. Call it 60w or even 1w if that feels better. It's still many orders of magnitude over what you would be receiving across space from another solar system. Also, for mild amusement, your comment reminded me of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9UO9tn4MpI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9UO9tn4MpI
