How much power do you need? Does radio reach the stars? Does light from
the stars reach us by "radio" type waves?

Because the power of a radio wave declines due to distance by only 6 db
each time distance doubles, the 6 db distance can be almost infinite and
the power useable dependent on the power required and and the power of
the source.
