> While we have shown that we can use the Dwingeloo telescope to receive the carrier signal from Voyager-1, we cannot use the telescope to communicate with it. NASA uses dishes in the Deep-Space Network (DSN) to communicate with Voyager 1. These dishes, located around the globe in Goldstone, Canberra and Madrid, are optimized for these higher frequencies and have a diameter of 70m, much larger than the 25m Dwingeloo Telescope.

I wonder if this was included as a "please don't ask us if we're capable of hacking it, we are not" CYA.
