Hi all. My name is Gabriele, I'm 48, I live in Italy, the land of blazing summer, my job is as SW/HW System Tester on communication equipments field.
Hobbies? Surely the Radio, I mean any radio, from SW listener to broadcast FM stations. Lately, once moved to a new home, I had to give up with radio frequency. Actually when next-door neighbours began to experience strange TV behaviours...I guess because of the power.
Seeking for comfort, I got an ultra-light pilot license. The wonder of this matter is you wake up a day to feel that wings grew up on your shoulders, free to go anywhere you like. I had to give up this one too...I guess because of that school-trike I crashed.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Why do you run SETI@home?
I do not run SETI@home because it has been strictly forbidden by Company Policy.
Not being my company against that. Only the laboratory LAN was inesplicably congested, once found the reason, they setup the WEB access proxy to filter out S@H client packets. End of the story.
2. What are your views about the project?
A bold project, because of its extent if compared to available resources.
3. Any suggestions?
3. Any suggestions?
Yes, I'd have some. What puzzles me is mainly that S@H has been always seeking for signals well above the floor noise. Take the SGHb02+14a for example, 414 dB of (free) path-loss. You'd need a trillion watt into the aerial or a parabola dish (at a rough guess) as big as the Moon's diameter, to arrive here at, say, –180dBm. Choose whatever you'd like. In any case, a big deal just to signal to human beings...
So my suggestion is to re-run all piggy-backed data into an auto-correlator seeking also for signals below the ground-floor, like the way Bruno Moretti showed us with "KLT algorithm at the Medicina CNR radio telescopes". I do not have any clue on how this should or could be done on SETI environment right now, I'm just saying that signals S@H has been probing for, are almost impossible to have been generated by ET intelligences.
Just my 11 cents.
