The spurts come out inside the event horizon of another black hole if
there's a wormhole involved, or inside the same one if there isn't.
The only way for someone to receive your signal is for them to also
fall past the event horizon. At which point they couldn't really do
anything about your message, which makes it seem a bit pointless.
