Have you not read the 'opinion'? Radium is a troller. You are feeding
the troll. Good luck with your catch.........

OK.. I guess I'm a 'newbie' on this subject. What is the 'opinion?' And what
is a 'troll,' -- other than the creature that lives under the bridge and was
dumped in the water by Billygoat Gruff?

In usenet speak, a "troll" is someone who posts solely for the purpose
of getting attention (any kind of attention - to them, praise is best
but abuse will do). They'll usually go elsewhere if ignored.

Can millimetric-frequency receivers be used on a space station to
detect signals emitted by extremely-distant cosmic object -- e.g.
magnetars?

I think there are practical considerations that restrict radio
astronomy, such as commercial satellite transmitters.

>From the hardware standpoint, I think the ability to do
"radio" astronomy depends on your ability to do coherent
integration of energy, i.e., use both amplitude and phase
information. And as the link posted by radium in his first
post says:
", blurring the distinction between radio astronomy and
infrared astronomy. With the advent of Earth-to-space
telecommunications near 1 ?m wavelength (300 THz)
and the need to regulate for avoiding interference with
optical observatories, the distinction between different kinds
of astronomy will eventually vanish from the regulatory
perspective."
In other words, he already posted the answer to his question:
we haven't seen the upper limit yet, if there is one.
