Hi Roy,
Not far off.
If absolutely EVERYONE (presuming 6 billion of us) on the planet got
art's signal at S9 from a 100W transmission, that would only be 300 mW
captured (0.3% efficient).
I suppose the 99.7W lost would contribute to Intergalactic Warming
(which would be 99.7% efficient). However, HF temperature is for all
practicable purposes indistinguishable from absolute Zero.
