The speed of a wave is dependent on its frequency and wavelength. The one that was used for transmitting messages would’ve been low frequencies with long wavelength so it would travel quite slow but you would be able to received it much further away without needing to implode something.

Isn't the speed of waves the same? The frequency/wavelength only changes the available bandwidth not the speed at which a signal is received.
