Thanks, Paul.
Unless the Alpha C Expedition sent a:
"Hey folks, we're still OK and on our way!" Message when they were 3 ly from Terra, we wouldn't have received a message after 6 y.
According to this (http://convertalot.com/relativistic_star_ship_calculator.html) if they went at 1 G, it would be a minimum of 10.2 years for us to receive the:
"Hey we're here, wish you were, too!" Message.

The message was clearly while the expedition was en route.
