SETI: Reinvestigating the best signals **UPDATED March 14**

[Spacehead]

According to this page, S@H will have control of the Arecibo telescope on the 18th & 19th of March.
Should be interesting to find out the results of this.

More info can be found here too, project ID A1710.
There's also some other interesting projects going on here as well, check out their desciptions. :Q

Thanks for the info.

Someone asked about this on, i think, the S@H msg boards. Couldn't remember exactly when it was going to happen, so i did a little digging the other night on the Arecibo web site.

I hadn't been there for awhile. Lots of info to read about

Shifting Gears at Arecibo

I recall not long after I joined the "search" listening one night to the Art Bell Coast to Coast Radio Show that featured Seth Shotak and Jill Tarter on location at the Arecibo Dish. They had setup a webcam and you could see the activity in the control room as they conducted the same revisiting of the most promising signals as is planned for the 18th - 20th of this month.

I remember at one point some alarms went off and for a moment things got rather exciting. It turned out it was just an alarm that the dish was momentarily moving away from its target as sort of a "check". The new data received during this "revisiting" will have to be analyzed at a later time ... I bet they do that with their own computers and not ours.

Thanks for your continued updates on Seti@Home News, Spacehead. It is most appreciated.
