I don't think this reads that badly, he says he's got a 3 meter dish
(which is pretty large) so one would reasonably assume he plans to
broadcast directionally. Anyone not in the beam or close to it could
not detect the signal.

Of course, they would be able to detect the power drain from any
signal strong enough for interstellar broadcast. :^/

That aside, the waterhole is a popular frequency, he might want to
consider it.

I still remember the transmitter from UFO lo so many years ago. It
was a small lucite shoebox that they later said put out 2KW. Interestingly,
except for the power and antenna, I think that a 2KW transmitter could
fit into such a space.
