Might not have to . If the government checks for cell towers near the landing sight , they might still be able to determine who was there or narrow it down to people heading away from the location.

Oh, I never would have said that they won't give themselves away by accident. In fact, I quite expect that their cell phones have already betrayed them, just by being on them when they spent time in the future crash site and then decamped with Gharr in tow, and it's just a question of whether the government will do the requisite homework before they get outed some other way.

I just guessed that Mark was not doing it on purpose.

TRIVIA
There's no way to communicate faster than light. If you want to send your message to another solar system, your best bet is to use a courier spaceship. It can take even a month for it to finally reach the destination, but it still beats sending it as a transmission and expecting it to arrive decades or thousands of years later.
