 perhaps planetary civilisations only emit radio communications
 for a brief developing stage in their history. we seem to be
 moving more toward tight-beam communications, cables, optical
 fibres etc. even radar may be replaced by laser systems so in a few 
 generations earth may become radio-quiet once again.
