It is not impossible, and it is NOT the stations "transmitting" to each other.
You REALLY should learn something about the subject before attempting to write
about it.
This was a single signal coming from far, far away, received by two detectors on
earth. They are separated by 10 ms flight time for a gravitational wave that
propagates directly along the line between them. So to achieve 7 ms between
detectors it must have come from a direction not on that line, but also not too
far from it [#].

JUST PLAIN WRONG. In actual fact, they do not know from which direction the
signal came, except approximately [#]. Unlike light, gravitational waves
propagate freely through the earth (and the sun, and ...); they aren't even
slowed down.
[#] READ THE PAPER(s) -- they presented a diagram showing
probability contours for directions from which it might have
come.

The only fraud here is in your writings. And Valev's....

JUST PLAIN WRONG. (Note the two detectors could not possibly send a signal from
one to the other with a delay of only 7 ms; they are 10 light-milliseconds apart.)
