Wouldn't the James Webb telescope be the optimal device for collecting and deciphering this data? Seems like we're on the brink of potentially the most signifi

  No, these signals are at a low frequency of around 1.4 GHz, not at the high frequencies of infrared or visible light. For such radio signals, much larger antennas are needed than what we can expect to have on space telescopes in the near future. A much more likely improvement, compared to what can be done on Earth, could be obtained by building a large radiotelescope on the Moon (i.e. with a large array of antennas), on its hidden face.
