> I don't think its particularly associated with SETI.

That depends on what you mean by "associated". It's not associated directly with SETI the institute, but it was the site of the first systematic/scientific search (and false positive) for extra-terrestrial intelligence lead by Frank Drake. It is also the place where The Order of the Dolphin (Drake, Carl Sagan, Otto Struve, et al.) met and developed the Drake Equation.



The one in the picture is the 100m dish. Frank Drake used the 25m dish. Just being nitpicky, I get your point.
