anyone have any idea of what the famous wow signal would look like pictured with seti@homescreensaver program? would we notice it as being as big as the original person that wrote wow on the paper or would it look like any other data points that look interesting to the view but have turned up to be nothing from the et?

WOW Signal

The Wow! signal was a strong, narrowband radio signal detected by Dr. Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977 while working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of Ohio State University. The signal bore expected hallmarks of potential non-terrestrial and non-solar system origin. It lasted for 72 seconds, the full duration Big Ear observed it, but has not been detected again. It has been the focus of attention in the mainstream media when talking about SETI results.
