Title: 45th anniversary of the Wow! signal
Post by: thewowsignal on 11/11/2022 09:08:25
Hi all,
I am a Polish individual, a pianist, radio amateur and electronics hobbyist, please see my website for more information about me.
I currently look for someone good at math and radio astronomy, who will be able to help me with calculations
related to the Wow! signal received by the Big Ear radio telescope in 1977 in Ohio. To this very day it has not been known which horn of the Big Ear radio telescope received the Wow! signal. I think I can shed some fresh light on this problem. More details on my websites.

The post lacks a link (for now) which is good because it is not allowed by forum rules.

The post is also an exact copy of one on scienceforums.net, which is also not allowed by the rules here.

The reaction on that site is similar to the one you'd get here. Don't post a link else the topic will be locked. This is a discussion forum, not an advertising board to drive traffic to your site. If you need to, paste the relevant sections you want to discuss here.

So far you have refused to offer any insight at all, you seem to just want to advertise your website - I'm not interested in your website.

I understand your point of view. I am only trying to find someone interested in the topic and willing to help.
45th anniversary is a very good reason, in my opinion.

Then why are you unwilling to share anything here to discuss?

I built a small website about it, however there is no permission to place a link to it. I am not going to copy and paste it here. In fact I am still working on it, made an amateur documentary film about it, etc.
My initial idea was to find someone interested in helping me in calculating things. I am surprised, that such topic is a problem to a modern and interconnected society. A link to a website is something people can click on or not. If they are interested, they click on it. If they are not, they just don't. Simple.

Then you should probably just go away.

Surely someone or the other would have Helped you out by now, if only they knew what exactly you required help with...

You're Welcome to Discuss it in here...but No Links Please!

Thanks.

I  think this is what he wants to know.

If you are interested in my private research about the direction of the Wow! signal, you can find it xxxxxxxxxxxx.

No thanks.  If you are really looking for insight why don't you post your idea here?  Oh, that's right you aren't looking for insights, you just want clicks on your site.

I Wonder if the WoW Signal was Faked!
A Deliberate attempt to garner Interest in SETI.

Or perhaps the Possibility that it was a Russian Military & Defence Satellite.
They might be Chuckling at each n every Anniversary!

Even after Extensive ReSearches, it wasn't found Again, isn't it?

They found a second signal recently coming from Proxima Centauri.The signal has been designated as possible alien transmission and probably another dead end.They are still studying the signal it could of come from behind the planet 100s of light years away or from the planet itself which sits in the habital zone of the star.Still being investigated.
Wouldn't that be something finding life on a planet of the closes star to earth if it did originate from the planet.

Do you have a source for this claim?

You can easily google it yourself it will pop right up.

I was just going off memerory from 2019 the outcome was unknown without further study.I looked today and they seemed to believe it was our tech although they can't pinpoint exactly what caused it but it was a great learning experience as they continue seaching for signals of tech

Yes I know that, I was interested in your source, but it looks like it doesn't matter.

The same thing happened with the wow signal - they were never able to find it again and you would have to find it again to prove it.
The odds of two star side by side having civilizations at the same time would be a rare occasion and highly  unlikely.

The biggest question about the Wow! signal is about FSPL - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss) (Free-space path loss). A signal sent from 1 ly distance (9 461 000 000 000 km), according to the following calculator https://www.everythingrf.com/rf-calculators/free-space-path-loss-calculator (https://www.everythingrf.com/rf-calculators/free-space-path-loss-calculator) gives me signal loss of about 355dB. Assuming no gain for tx and rx. What if the signal was sent from a distance object thousands of light years away? What sort of power must have been used, if the signal loss was greater than 430dB? And what was the power level received here on Earth?

Finally!

An Opportunity for a Discussion & the Right questions being asked.

Great!

WHOA.  I had not heard that.  Well, what was the signal?  I mean, not exactly what was it, but was it like the WOW signal?  I remember the WOW signal was special in that it started relatively weak, powered up and got stronger, then tailed off.  Much like an alien race that was powering up a sender to send a message, then powering it down.  Generally unlike natural sources.  Was this on anything similar?

Thanks!
