The problem is I don't think we have been taking random samples. We have concentrated all our eggs in one basket so to speak. The 21cm band. This is why my search is at a frequency range that is about 4 times higher at around 4Ghz.

I read a recent article on SETI that suggested that the sun is actually at distance from the center of the galaxy that optimizes the chance of life. It went on to say that stars in the outer bounds of the MW are older and have the right mix of metals, carbon and the like to foster life. The implication was that other planets conductive to life are likely to be in or near our orbit around the nucleus of the MW. Another thing the article said was that the center of the MW is too active with young stars to hold life. Does that many any sense?
