I doubt it's more complicated than knowing the language and having the proper transmission hardware. 1978 seems a little early to be worrying about hacks of that variety. That said the hardware could also have some kind of encryption built in. I'll ask if I get a chance, though - I hope to get some details from the project soon.

Interesting, then, that the scenario already appeared in fiction by 1950 (in the Tintin story Objectif Lune/Destination Moon)

I think pointing at it is probably the most difficult part.
