First low frequency search for alien technology in distant galaxies

 Innovative study used the MWA's large field of view (FOV),
 allowing the team to cover about 2,800 galaxies in one observation

SETI Institute
Summary:
Researchers have announced a groundbreaking study using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Western Australia.
The research is the first to search for signs of alien technology in galaxies beyond our own,
focusing on low radio frequencies (100 MHz).
This new approach looks at distant galaxies,
making it one of the most detailed searches for super civilizations -- those more advanced than ours.

Would be interesting to hear their music :-)

I can't even listen to shortwave much anymore because of all the EMI
in town !

Not only in town here, in house too:

and that is only a few of those in use...
OTOH over here, outside with a decent antenna, it is still OK.
Small village, some distance between the houses..

At higher frequencies we have radar interference..
rotating radar just a few km away from here.
Some satellite channels have an interference pattern every few seconds.

that 1.37 GHz is picked up by the satellite dish LNB output
Some radios pick it up to and give a click every few seconds,
very strong radar signal, rotating dish.
I think they are looking for Russian or US invaders...
