who says the signals would be dicipherable by their tech? to them it might be some kind of deadly radiation that keeps them away
If radio at the energies used for long distance communication is deadly to you and your spaceship isn't enough to protect you from it, good luck getting into space in the first place.
depends on the type of radiation.
When a topic involves aliens, no one really knows how their bodies work.
What's harmful to one organism is often harmless to others
the kinds of cosmic radiation that's abundant outside of earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere could be harmless or even benefical to other orgamisms that do interstellar travel all the time
Which includes the exact same radiation we use for radio...
No it does not. Next auestion!

21! You stupid!
EDIT: This is not proof that I'm a bot.
It says clearly in your username that you're not a bot-- you're the world dumbest man. Congrats!
So if it’s deadly radiation, why didn’t they keep away?
do you have proof aliens are here on earth?
The news talks about aliens all the time, apparently they're stealing my jobs but I've never seen any greys in the shops so it must be really good camo.
one kind of radiation that's deadly to one species might be harmless to another....I just replied to the other person about this
You'll get a lot more exposure to radio waves from your average star than from Earth at a distance. Earth shines brightly in that spectrum but not enough to outshine a star.
There's only one kind of photon radiation. It just varies in frequency and strength from radio to gamma.
If an alien can't survive Earth's radio emissions they wouldn't have made it to Earth in the first place.
