The "WOW!" signal is not the only candidate, it is just, possibly,
the most powerful. (It has to have been powerful because the receiver
was relatively insensitive, due to a 10kHz noise bandwidth compared
with 50 mHz (that is correct usage of m, not a mistake for M) of
modern
systems.)
Estimates of the actual signal strength put it at 50-200 Jy.
