Default Amateur Radio Astronomy and Seti League

The "Seti League" is linked off of the Amateur Radio Astronomy Links page found on the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers website. I know about SETI but haven't heard of the "Seti League."

If you're interested, you can poke around the "Seti League" website here. There are other interesting links off the Amatuer Radio Astronomy links page as well.

There was a presentation by a SETI League member at Worldcon in Boston.

Hey all you hams out there! Be ye ever mindful of Rule 1 as regards QSOs with ETs! To wit: never, ever close with '88s' as opposed to '73s'!!! -- The results of said confusion can be traumatic!!!

Well I'm off to da land of 'Oz' for to spy me my fave Rara-Avis --- Talk atcha all later :-)

Very best regards
Dan Sarandon

Mmmmm, pizza...
Btw I'm going to a meeting of the Case Western Ham Radio club tomorrow (W8EDU). They've got some HUGE antennas there! Think they'll let me steal one and CQ to Epsilon Eridani?
