The transmission lasted a little under three mintues (167.9 seconds) and was completed by modulating the frequency back and forth by about 10Hz (or 10 bits per second). The Arecibo Human Template was transmitted on a frequency of 2,388 MegaHertz which is significant. Arecibo is capable of the range between 1,000-3,000 MHz. 1,679 digits in the transmission are extremely important because 1679 is the result of 2 prime numbers, 23 and 73 or 23*73.

Is Farrakhan in charge of this project? We are transmitting in Mhz and they are responding in Hz? What is wrong with this picture? I think we would have better luck putting a note in a bottle and launching it into space.

I think someone else should get the job.... much more qualified in all that complicated Outer Space "stuff"

"We are transmitting in Mhz and they are responding in Hz? " No, we ended the transmission by modulating the carrier at 10 hertz, the base of our math system.
