No, MY source was the Wikipedia entry on the WOW signal, and I put a link to it in my first post on this thread. When you asked,"Wiki?", I assumed maybe you thought I meant "Wikileaks", or were expressing caution about the validity of Wikipedia as an authoritative source.

Communication with extraterrestrials is hard, hell, even communicating on the Zone is prone to misinterpretation!

I do like "The Waterhole" tag, but I think the waterhole concept, in fact, the whole idea of microwave SETI, has fallen out of favor with SETI researchers. (Yes, there are fads and fashion in science.)

After 50 years with no successes, people are getting ready to try something else, like laser beacons or infrared surveys for Type II civilizations. I still like the idea of microwaves, because as my essay "Reality Check" points out, we already have very good technology in place there, it can be piggybacked on other astronomy research at minimal cost, and ETIs have very good reasons other than communication to use microwaves as beacons.
