1) Message boards : SETI@home Science : Possible Signal (Message 1380042) Posted 11 Jun 2013 by David Shanholtzer Post: Some years ago (1974) a message was sent from the Arecibo Radio Telescope that lasted less than 3 minutes. I assume everyone knows about this. I have a couple of questions: If ET broadcast a similar message in this general direction I assume we would pick it up. Would we necessarily pick up the entire message or perhaps, say, only a part of it as our radio telescopes swept through that portion of the sky? Would we be able to repeat an observation of that signal, since as with us it was sent once only. There was the WOW signal that was never repeated. Is it possible that signal would have been similar to our Arecibo message? OTOH, relooking at that part of the sky as has been done what, a few million times?, if ET's tech were similar to ours, we should be able to pick up something although not necessrily a deliberate signal. Or would we if that one message deliberately exceeded the power of their routine transmissions significantly, their routine signals being degraded through time and distance? And this assumes the WOW signal was more than a glitch.
