I'm responding to my own post, because I think I found it ... this is it, right?

Yes, it seems to be right.

In all it's glory!




haha! that's great, Pawly! I like it a lot!



and thank you, nobody - I like the graphic representation! although complex, it's visually satisfying - I actually collect those kinds of graphics/diagrams... thanks man!
that would have worked if you hadn't stopped me

. . .here's something that may bE rElEvant


Graph showing the normalized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for 1 kW beacon signals
over a distance of ten light years. It assumes symmetrical telescopes at both ends
of the link, and that the transmitter is not resolved from the image of the star.


. . . compare this graph to that given in First Contact26 (Chapter 4, Page 151, by Dr. Michael Klein). The first impressions from that graph (Figure 1 of Chapter 4)
is again that optical communications are useless. This is far from the truth. Indeed, the graph is very misleading. One might be forgiven for thinking that in this model,
the ETIs are using Compact Disc-type laser-diodes and/or hobby model-type telescopes! The assumed optical EIRPs are much too low. Also, the graph is plotted in terms of EIRP,
and therefore exaggerates the efficacy of the microwave approach for an electronic receiver (instead of an observer), because it does not show the typical 10 K noise floor of
a high-quality microwave receiver, only the radio brightness of a quiet G-type star. The latter is about 54 dB beneath the 10 K systems noise floor, as shown in Figure 2, and
could only be detected after considerable signal integration. At 1.5 GHz, it is generally the Cosmic Background, i.e., the 2.73 K aftermath of the theoretical Big Bang,
and the electronic noise in the microwave front-end that limits signal detectability, not Planckian radio noise from the star

I fully understand what it represents. I understand the concept of 23 rows and 73 columns creating a visual message - and I understand the meaning/purpose of the message itself.

BUT...

What was the actual broadcast? Is it audible? How is it represented visually? Is it similar to binary code, featuring a succession of ones and zeros? If so, is the actual "text" available online? I've only found a graphic of the assembled/translated message.

I'm a little confused, and would really appreciate a shove in the right direction! Thank you!
