As someone not familiar with ham - what can you do with this signal? Can you decode it to view stats or pictures? Or is it mostly just "hearing" it speak to Earth?
I'm also curious what prevents say an amateur operator or even another country from sending commands or disrupting communication to remote systems on Mars. Is it the just the amount of work they'd have to do, proprietary/secret protocol, encryption?
