    As far as I understand it, to date all SETI searches in the optical or radio domain are looking
    for a single carrier beacon. But we know that spread spectrum would be much more efficient in
    noisy long distance media. The CBR spectrum would be an ideal universal reference spectrum that
    might serve as a way to extract information from a spread spectrum transmission. Even more
    outlandish would be to use the CBR as a holographic reference signal to extract information.

    Has anyone looked into this?

    Bill
