Radio Club Honors SETI League Director
Little Ferry, NJ.., November 2002 -- The Radio Club of America, the world's
oldest radio society, has elected Dr. H. Paul Shuch, executive director of
the membership-supported, nonprofit SETI League, as a Fellow of the Club.
Shuch will be honored at the Club's annual awards banquet, to be held on 22
November 2002 at the New York Athletic Club.
Dr. Shuch, a lifelong amateur radio operator, has headed The SETI League,
Inc. since its formation eight years ago. Paul is a prominent engineering
professor credited with designing the first commercial home satellite TV
receiver. A Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, he is the author
of more than 300 publications. In addition to his professional honors and
accomplishments, he has received numerous amateur radio awards, including
the Central States VHF Society's John T. Chambers Memorial Award, the
Dayton Hamvention Technical Excellence Award, a QST Cover Plaque, and an
American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Technical Achievement Award. He is a
frequent Keynote Speaker and Banquet Speaker at ARRL Conventions, ham radio
clubs, and on college campuses around the world.
Paul's amateur radio station, N6TX, has operated in all 20 ham bands
between 1.8 MHz and 24 GHz. He was first licensed as WV6UAM in 1961, and
has served as Technical Director and Chairman of the Board of Project Oscar
Inc., predecessors to AMSAT. He has chaired the ARRL VHF/UHF Advisory
Committee, and served on the Board of Directors of several prominent ham
radio clubs, including the Central States VHF Society, Project OSCAR, and
The SETI League. He lives on a radio-quiet hilltop in northern Pennsylvania
(Grid Square FN11lh) with his biologist wife, five of their seven
recombinant DNA experiments, ten networked computers, three motorcycles,
ten radio telescopes, and an antique MG-TD.
Formed by a small group of dedicated radio amateurs and experimenters
nearly a century ago, The Radio Club of America would soon count among its
membership the very best in the radio communications industry. Edwin
Armstrong, David Sarnoff, Louis Hazeltine, John V. L. Hogan, Paul Godley
and Allen B. DuMont, to name just a few - these were pioneers who would
shape the industry.
Today the Club is composed of modern pioneers, advancing the field of radio
communications in ways undreamed of on that January day in 1909, when the
first meeting of The Radio Club of America was called to order.
SETI scientists seek to determine through microwave and optical
measurements whether humankind is alone in the universe. Since Congress
terminated NASA's SETI funding in 1993, The SETI League and other
scientific groups have been attempting to privatize the research.
Experimenters interested in participating in the search for intelligent
alien life, or citizens wishing to help support it, should email to
join@setileague.org, check the SETI League Web site at
http://www.setileague.org/, send a fax to 1 (201) 641-1771, or contact The
SETI League, Inc. membership hotline at 1 (800) TAU-SETI. Be sure to
provide us with a postal address to which we will mail further information.
The SETI League, Inc. is a membership-supported, non-profit [501(c)(3)],
educational and scientific corporation dedicated to the electromagnetic
Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.
