Huh? Gamma rays do not distort radio waves, and in fact for 40 years we've had
radio telescopes that could communicate with a similar instrument anywhere in
the galaxy; if another one actually existed elsewhere course. Use a good error
correcting code and you'd have very few errors.

What on earth would be the point that? Neutrinos are certainly no faster than radio
waves, probably a little slower, and they're astronomically more difficult to detect.
