I am a project manager in the wireless industry and Amature Radio operator. My interest in listening to radio static and wondering if there were other beings attempting to send messages in that noise was most exciting to ponder. When SETI came along I jumped at the chance to use some real analytical tools to examine that noise. SETI is the perfect expresson for me. We cannot be alone is such a massive universl.
