Super! With that big an aperture they will be able to really get some precision measurements.
Mike Kremer said, Yes well all of us including every Astronomer agrees with that.
But do you think that extraterrestrial searchers would
want to use 50-60 cycles, of low frequency? As you state below
That does not make any sense to me.
In any case low frequencys do not travel as far as high frequ:
Actually for searching for extraterrestrial intelligence I think they should be looking for very low frequency signals. I expect the Earth is radiating strongly at 50 and 60 Hz. I suspect that any civilization that depends on power transmission will use low frequencies, because they are easy to work with.

Mike Kremer asks Bill....What makes you think our Earth radiates around 50-60 cycles?
Almost the whole world uses A.C frequency of 50 cycles, at approx: 220 volts.
Its only America and Brazil that use 60 cycles at 110 volts,
plus a few very small countrys, or islands.
Everyone (90%)uses 50 cycles.
The frequency of our mains supplies are nothing to do with the
hunting of Aliens with digital telescopes, or the natural vibration of our Earth.
I dont think there is one, is there?
