How about one of those millionaire businessmen who gave
millions to The SETI Institute for their next generation project?
We could name the SETI League amateur SETI project after
them as an incentive and get them lots of publicity. It can
also be rightly touted as an educational project.
Instead of just hoping that amateur astronomers will do
their own SETI thing, we can give them financial rewards
and/or other incentives (such as equipment) to participate.
In this era, I don't see how else we can do it, and I don't
think the number of member observatories has risen in a
while. How else can we have even a chance of detection
without enough active observatories?
I know SETI League funds are tight, which is why I suggest
the outside financial help. Surely some rich technologist out
there would like to help foster the interest (and purchase)
of those who would buy his merchandise while contributing
to science.
Lee, I am including this in Volcor because the coordinators
could help promote this project. I would also like to say I
have seen very little activity on the Volcor list as of late
anyway.
