Yep, they're not very powerful transmitters
But they do the job well enough.
Just think, that phone call you made home to ask what's for tea, about 10 years ago, is now nearly passing on by Epsilon Eridani and any passing starship in the area. They'll hear "What's for tea..." and then they'll decide to have something to eat themselves
