The idea that "we" have a transmitter on Mars notwithstanding, Jupiter

Not we but you.

No, not at all. The problem with all the folks who have these strange
desires to debunk basic physics is this:

Things are connected.

When people come up with theorys/conspiracies or whatever that sopmething
we thought we knew is so completely wrong, it is a mark of thier ignorance
that they don't realize that there is more than one thing negated if they
are correct. Want a different speed of radio compared to light - or rather
I should say faster than C ?

We have the two C. One of them is a constant in the wave equation.
The second is a speed of light. It is different in different media and the
frequency dependent. Also in space. An example Pulsars are spinning neutron
stars that emit pulses at very regular intervals ranging from milliseconds
to seconds. Astronomers believe that the pulses are emitted simultaneously
over a wide range of frequencies. However, as observed on Earth, the
components of each pulse emitted at higher radio frequencies arrive before
those emitted at lower frequencies. This dispersion occurs because of the
ionised component of the interstellar medium, which makes the group velocity
frequency dependent.
