Lossy

Radio waves do in a sense `die' though they can not be destroyed except 
through interference with another wave of the same wavelength and opposite 
phase. The further a wave travels the more attentuated it will become though. 
Eventually the signal amplitude will be so low it will effectively be 
undetectable.
