	SETI Live? No. I mean a method that is actually using amateur equipment for collecting data instead of searching the data someone else has collected with professional equipment.

	Optical seti is linking multiple telescopes together to form a very large baseline array. Some of these telescopes are owned by amateurs. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	Optical seti is linking multiple telescopes together to form a very large baseline array. Some of these telescopes are owned by amateurs. That's right! Optical SETI was what I was looking for. I samewhat expected that people might get the term "amateur" wrong. It doesn't mean that they just switch on their computer and do a bit SETI for fun but rather that they do it in their free time and are willing to spend some thousand dollars for their hobby (i.e. amateurs don't get aby funding) On this page I found detailed calculations about what type of alien signals might be detected that way, instructions how to build an amateur optical SETI receiver and a cost estimation for the equipment needed. PM on the way

	Recently I found a replica of the earliest steam locomotive. It is very close to where it was originally developed. Where was this location? ____________ BOINC WIKI

It is by the same person that made the one featured ad the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea. The area features the first of a particular type of bridge, and is named after that bridge. ____________ BOINC WIKI
