I tried a mind experiment last night based on SETI, receiving Cygnus
G-1 has a target for possible alien transmissions. I can't find a
reference for this, the nearest match seems to be Cygnus X-1 (A Black
Hole).

Could it be a civilisation lives nearby and uses the black hole like
gravity lensing to enhance their transmission powers.

not at all, but try this =>  http://zapatopi.net/afdb/
