Re:Which stars can see Earth as a transiting exoplanet? by DamnInteresting on Thursday October 28, 2021 @12:51AM (#29022503)
If you'll excuse the self-link, I have written about this at length: https://www.damninteresting.com/space-radio-more-static-less...

In short, even our largest, most sensitive radio telescopes are far too small to detect omnidirectional (e.g., FM radio) leakage from Sol's nearest celestial neighbor. Unless an exoplanet directs a coherent radio beam at Earth, we'd need an antenna larger than the planet to detect a signal amid the noise.
