Considering the EIRP alien TX needed for a such intergalactic signal reception on earth and after 
watching the Physicist Hubert Reeves giving a lecture on galactic X-rays emitting objects. I come 
to the conclusion it is unlikely that we will be able to copy a such signal with the Arecibo radio 
telescope and with our present technology.

I quit this SETI affair and i choose this one where i can have a real direct involvement. Here is 
the link. You will now from this point searching for comet dust...

P.S. you need to pass a validation test and a good vision is mandatory plus a lot of patience 
that's why i believe this will fit all of the us in the amateur satellite community who are 
endlessly waiting for each new satellite in the making... decade after decade!
