SETI Astronomers Launch New Campaign to Eavesdrop on E.T. The coordinated signal-searching campaign began this month to mark the 50th anniversary of Project Ozma, a 1960 experiment that was christened the world's first real attempt in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence – or SETI. http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20101113/sc_space/setiastronomerslaunchnewcampaigntoeavesdroponet PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

I was wondering if our old short wave transmissions would have reached many star systems. In a hundred years the carrier wave might exist at 100+ years. If not Im sure they can hear Jaurez Mexico on radio. I could recieve that AM station in Michagan plain as day. |

The ionosphere bounced that frequency back to the ground so you could hear it. None escaped into space. |

It speaks of "telescopes", but which kind? Optical, radio, IR, X, gamma? This is rather vague. Tullio |

A blog in www.setiquest.org says the data will be optical, microwave, and LOFAR (8 MHz) coming from 5 stars.Also Arecibo is taking place, besides ATA. Tullio |
