My suspicion is that our use of radio for communication would be considered extremely ancient to any civilizations that may be monitoring us. The changes in carrier modulation that have occurred just within the last 50 years has been astounding.
Any relatively nearby civilization(100 light years) would most likely be millions of years removed from us in technology. I can not even begin to speculate as to where our world will find itself in that amount of time if we are still around to ponder things. So, are there other means of communications that exist of which we are unaware? How well do we in fact understand the physical world? It was not that long ago when the laser was invented....such a simple in principle device that could have been discovered over 100 years earlier. Now we are watching expectantly as LENR devices are about to become accepted within the physics community so reluctantly. On many occasions I give consideration to the questions that most haunt me: How many wonderful discoveries are there waiting for us to uncover? How can I help to bring these into fruition? Only time will reveal what lies just beyond our reach, but I think the journey along the path toward the future will be exciting.

It had a spinning wheel with arcing contacts that broke the sparking RF circuit up into audio pulses. It modulated the AM band radio frequency signal. The system transmitted a beep beep beep instead of a crackle crackle crackle. It was easy to hear and the sound of the signal was much different from other natural sources of RF static. Those signals are out there just now at 100 light years in 2012. Will we soon be getting a reply? Frank Znidarsic
