radio signals don't go even 1LY.....radio signals degrade in a very short time....the signal gets so weak nobody can hear it...after 1 LY it's done...
i doubt it can be detected.
do a search for "do radio signals degrade in 1LY
As you said, the radio strength of Voyager 1 is about 23 watts. This signal is directed toward Earth, but since Voyager 1 is about 15 billion kilometers from Earth, by the time Voyager 1's signal reaches us its power is less than an attowatt, or a billionth of a billionth of a watt.
