Full Description

No SETI program has ever specifically searched for Schumann-frequency sidebands (±7.83Hz) modulated onto the hydrogen line (1420MHz) from specific stellar targets. This is a novel, testable prediction derived from the acoustic-piezoelectric superorganism theory. A $500 amateur system (RTL-SDR + LNA + grid dish) can demonstrate the method and calibrate on galactic hydrogen, then point at Sirius and record high-resolution spectral data. Even a null result with a published methodology could prompt professional follow-up with 10,000× more sensitivity using ALMA, VLA, or the upcoming SKA.
