982.002 MHz BLC1 radio signal from Proxima Centauri!

But because a second as a time unit is a human construct, there's little chance an alien radio signal, or any natural one come to that, would be almost an exact integer multiple of a million cycles per second

I thought it was the Dewey Decimal system. 982 is the history of Argentina but I couldn't find, in the time I could be bothered to spend looking, what the .002 (or .2) might represent.

If it were an exact integer, you'd have a point.

It is an exact integer multiple of KHz. So that in itself is only a 1:1000 chance

OK, we'll be upstairs (Hehe - That'll foil 'em! )
