Per the article we lose 99.9% of the photons sent. The antenna is as directional as possible but with a similar dish you could pick up the signal on the Moon at this point I expect (probably a smaller dish given the lack of atmospheric noise) Equally we're broadcasting to the area of space Voyager's in. We're not able to to target it to the dish - 12' isn't the DSOC accuracy - it's the size required to pick up enough data given the signal diffusion.
