I may just be a little ignorant, but they are showing that as a nice little bubble expanding from our little blue ocean
Now i don't know about you but our lovely modern day signals if there are say mountains and what not between i have never found the signal to be any good.

If this is actually the case, then half that sphere and reduce the amount of people who might hear it!
