The first phase of the Allen Telescope Array consisting of 42 antennas has been built at the Hat Creek Observatory near Mount Lassen, California. One of its major missions is to conduct radio SETI observations from 1 to 10 GHz.
Because SETI now has its own telescope (50 years after Frank Drake's first search) and because SETI moved the signal detection efforts from custom hardware to enterprise servers, enabling SETI to now do things differently. SETI is moving out of the cathedral into the bazaar - which is Eric Raymond's way of saying that we are trying to involve the world in our searches. setiQuest is a global community that was launched to fulfill Jill Tarter's 2009 TED-prize-winning wish "I wish that you would empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company."
