Do you plan to target and listen the new discovered planets that could be similar to earth and could eventually host a life like us based on liquid water?

SETI@home has no telescope and can only piggyback Arecibo.

Q: Why is it so important to get a new receiver at Green Bank?
A: Arecibo, the only source of all the SETI@Home work units for the near fifteen year duration of the project, as large and sensitive and wonderful as it is, has the unfortunate drawback of being only "semi-steerable." As it’s a fixed dish with a somewhat movable receiver mechanism, it can only cover about one third of the sky, and it can't see any of the earth-like planets that the Kepler mission found, which are our highest priority to search, because they are all in high northern latitudes. On the other hand, the Green Bank observatory, the world's largest completely steerable radio telescope, can cover about 90% of the sky... three times as much as Arecibo, and this includes all of the target Kepler systems. So we’ll have at least three times as many star systems to search for signals, and possibly many more than that, plus the targeted search of the best candidates we know!
