Doubt that there is anything out there though. Otherwise we would have picked up their ‘I Love Lucy’ reruns by now.
There are a lot of potentially life-bearing planets out there, and we've only searched for electromagnetic transmissions from the tiniest fraction of them.
I hope you’re right. A couple of the “SETI” stations are located in the Owens Valley south of Bishop, Ca. Every time I drive by, I can’t help but imagine them as radio beacons sending out a cosmic message that amounts to “Eat Here”.
