The first packet I received was from 2008, but now I'm only getting material from 2019. Why is that, exactly? What dates are other people receiving? The older dates are from old Arecibo data that had problems being processed back then that has recently been corrected for processing. Cheers. ID: 2015817 ·

As you can probably tell from my credit, I'm only just coming to grips with how the system works and what it means. I'm sure I'll catch up to you giants eventually.

As for being 1 of the "giants", I don't consider myself as 1, but an "old timer" I'll take. ;-) Cheers. ID: 2015831 ·
