We shall be in the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area, and as part of our trip, we intend to visit the VLA radio telescope installation near Socorro. Maybe someone on the list is also planning to be there around that time, and if so, perhaps a rendevous could be arranged. Failing that, undoubtedly some of you have been there and might pass along a tip or two about what to expect. At any rate, I hope to get a photo or two of one of those antennas! I'll be outfitted with a mobile 2 meter transceiver for any SETI hams out there who'd like to chat about the project along the way. It would certainly make the drive interesting. If so, let me know repeater frequencies and locations so I can program the rig ahead of time and hopefully give you a shout when we're in the neighborhood. Of course, they won't appreciate any QSOs near the VLA itself! Does anyone remember if the VLA has a restricted zone around it?

This gives us time for more papers, more presentations, and more dialog between SETI League members. But to be included in the SETICon02 program, you need to go through the formalities announced in our Call For Papers, at . Anyone wishing to present a paper at SETICon02 needs to start by sending me a 100 word abstract. Although the deadline for Abstracts is not until 30 September, these dates have a way of creeping up on us. The sooner you get your ideas in to me, the better are the chances that you will be included in the final program. Start thinking about what interesting things you've been doing in the SETI universe (hardware, software, optics, planet hunting, radio astronomy, search strategies, philosophy, ham microwave, moonbounce, whatever), and drop me an email ASAP. I look forward to having a rich program of presentations next April, and hope you'll be on it. Yours for SETI Success, Paul -------------------------------- H.
