Visit SARA Booth at Dayton Hamvention


By melindalord - Posted on 14 April 2010

During May 14 to 16, the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers will have an exhibit at the annual Hamvention in Dayton, OH. One of the biggest gatherings of radio amateurs in the world, this event draws thousands of visitors each year.

SARA will share an exhibit booth with the Radio JOVE Project and the Interactive NASA Space Physics Ionosphere Radio Experiments (INSPIRE) project. Look for us at Booth #421. (See http://www.hamvention.org/about.php for more details.)

i would like to ask a series of questions for the simple fact that i just dont understand some of the pionts about the discourvery of other worldly technolgy. in verious si-fi shows i have herd things like how long it would take to survey the sky due to the massive ness of it all but with that said i take the little that i do know and it leaves me puzzled with understanding that if in our galaxy mathamatics says that the the probility of life existing on other planets is more then just likly that taken in account our own youth in existance leaves me again puzzled that thier is no ofical conformation thats is at least to the general public of evidance of out world existance of tecnolgy but going back to what i said about undersanding again looking at what i do know i own a computer that can easly calculate 1 million calculations per-second which in most cases in considered to be slow so i ask the qustion that if one were to take the computing power of some of our more advanced computers and combined that with the survaing abilities of the very large array of radio telecopes that it should not take very long at all to do an automated sweep of the milkyways stars or for that matter the andromada galaxy in which we have a better line of sight of an automated scan could inessance use the VLA to take a sample of the radio frequancies of our glatic home and its bodies for any anomilies that would be suspected to be of interest and can be anilized indepth by astronomers maybe i am just nyeve but it really puzzles me that it has not been difinitivly determed that their is or is not any out world technolgys that can be detected by radio astronmy so my questions are in short -has this kind of survey been done? if so how extensive was it? -were can the results of such a survey be found -if no such survey has been done then why not? if anyone can assist me with these questions that would be nice of you thank you for taking the time to read this post and i hope that mankind reaches the next frontier in expolration and knolege collectivly together as one and not of governments and cooperations
