They're LONG past that by now. ;)

Only if they have a sensitive enough antenna, and know where to point it! 
Think about the SETI project... they've been monitoring the skies constantly for 
how many years, now, and heard nothing?

But as more and more stations signed-on, the heterodynes would add up and 
quickly jumble the signals beyond recognition. Only the very early pioneer 
broadcasters and signals that are sporadic (2-way) on limited use frequencies have 
much chance of still being "in the clear" as they zip along into nothingness.
