Hi,
I am an acoustical consultant and audio engineer living in the woods north of Colorado Springs, Colorado USA. I am also an amateur (ham) radio operator, callsign WA0VSL. I have been interested in radio astronomy ever since I heard earth to moon to earth (EME - 'moonbounce')signals and my own signals returned from a amateur satellite. Not having the time or money to build a radio telescope, SETI is my vicarious means to do something related.. I also enjoy backpacking, music composition and audio recording of Nature's sounds. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I do feel that the odds of us being the only sentient beings in the universe to be rather slim and that we should seek any others for knowledge sake alone. I feel that SETI is evolutionary in the sense that for the first time mankind is working collectively (ie, 'hive-like') on a large scale to solve a task without being coerced, commanded or forced to do so.
On the topic of a beacon, I do not feel that it is necessary, as we have been doing so with our everyday emissions ever since we discovered electromagnetic waves. What could be more representive of our culture than what we send to ourselves? |
