First, thank you for sending the email on the ARGUS list that is available
to SETI League members only.
After some contemplation of your response I offer the following. I am not
likely to every be a member of the SETI League, your direction and focus is
of keen interest but like you I have learned that one has to focus to
achieve things, and my focus is elsewhere. I am specifically into research
on LDE's and within the same general problem the achievement of a two way
QSO across the North Atlantic on 144 MHz. I have completed the QSO across
the North Atlantic on 136 KHz already.
The SETI League ARGUS list just might produce some cross fertilization in
both directions from my work here and I would like to stimulate that. In
the interest of science and amateur radio I suggest it would be in your
interest to stimulate the ARGUS list discussion about my inquiry. There
are many ways to stimulate progress in the many areas of interest -
limiting discussion to only those within a group, such as SETI League I
offer, is not in your best interest or mine.
A while back, I made a careful review of the software and resources
available in the SETI League - I was dismayed to find that much of the
material was seriously out of date and that much of the material had not
been updated in a period of many months to years - not a strong proposition
to stimulate membership by someone who is working in a rather distant and
fringe area. As I remember you were advertising for someone to work on the
whole issue of Pattern Recognition software for the SETI League interests
at that time. I can assure you that I will solve the problem, the only
issue is how much effort do I have to put in to do it - effort directly
relates to time in my case.
All this being said, please consider forwarding my inquiry to your ARGUS
list. When I have resolved the issue of a Pattern Recognition process for
propagation studies I can assure you that the results will eventually be
available to the SETI League as well as everyone else. The time is now to
go beyond the common DSP tools that are Terminal based and enter the next
steps of qualifying the data as being of SOME or NO interest before using them.
I hope we can have some information sharing and development.
