Very interesting.

The first commercial radio station, KDKA Pittsburgh, went on-air in 1921.

1921 was 95 years ago.

The star is 95 light years away.

Very interesting indeed!

Still have that pesky notion that 95 light years is only a one way trip, and we will need another ~95 years to get the return signal.

Unless there is an FLT solution ... but why stop at twice the SoL?

So we are still 95 years from hearing their reaction.

Yes but if they are responding to our signal it would need 190 years to get here from the date our signal left Earth.
