No, because when you send out a signal pulse, it moves out in a spherical shell. The area of the shell is proportional to r^2. Dividing the signal out along that surface, you get 1/r^2

yes, yes I realize that normal enery disperses at that rate because of spacial enlargement... but Em waves are a combination of magnetic and dipole movement... I haev a vague memory that my physics book even has it derived somewhere that EM transmissions actually fade at 1/r^3 because of dipole movement on the antena...
I fo course could be wrong .. itīs been two years since I studied physics carefully
