Personal background
Hello. My name is Claude and I am 32 years old. I come from Montreal, Qc, Canada. I am a maintenance technician in a garage shop. I am guy who really likes night times. Not in clubs but just to be outside and watch the sky and enjoy calm and relaxing moments. I do not have any experiance in astronomy but I really enjoy watching the sky. Each year I go up north (Mont-Tremblant, Quebec) where is held for 3 nights on top of the highest peak in Quebec the Perseids watch. A lot of astronomers with large telescopes are there and we watch the sky for the whole night. Night sky watching is the time where I am seeking answer about my life, and life in general... where it lead me to this site !!!

I am a ham radio operator and of course, I enjoy doing communications with computers and aim my antennas up the sky. I have experiance in satellite, weak signal, meteor scatter and aurora communications modes. If I had the money and the place to install a large dish antenna, I would like to have a radio telescope. So for the moment, the only way I can do something with my computer to help solving a great mystery is to run seti@home !
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
In my mind, it's hard to imagine another place where advence life form could exist. Thinking that there is no roof top when I watch up in the air gives me some chills and in the infinite way, yes... there is maybe another place like earth. If another life out there tries to communicate with another planet, I guess it's for a good reasons and the exchange will be done in peace with I think, a great exchange of knowledge. Well, I hope by what I am doing right now running Seti@home on my computer and crunching a tiny sample of all the colected data will help to solve those questions.
