Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've been a ham operator - WK6A - for over 50 years - so the idea of radio reception from space is a natural source of intrigue for me. SETI@Home helps me keep my ears open! I started with the project in 1999, then lost interest as the old software died out. Back on with a much newer and faster computer as of 2019.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
