If you'll examine the picture of the Cilbolton Crop Circle below, you will see that the antenna dish size is listed where the M-antenna corresponded in the human SETI message from 1974.
The binary of it is difficult to read accurately, but if it is 16 character binary code of "00 0101 1101 0011 1011" then the transmitter size is 16448 units wide. The size of a unit is not labeled, but if the scale is identical to the wavelength used for human height, which I believe was at 13.7 cm, then the dish would have to be 225337.6cm, which becomes 2253.376 meters, which is a dish 2.253376 km across, which is 1.4 miles wide. That is a substantial dish. It's not a planet, but it is large. This also assumes that it is only a 15th digit binary shell dish. I might have incorrectly judged the plant arrangements. Also, the 1.4 mile figure is a [binary] 100 0000 0000 0000 figure. The binary set of 101 1101 0011 1011 would be 23995 Hz of 13.7cm wide, which is actually about 2 miles wide. That is an impressive dish unlike what we have invested in.
