Little Ferry, NJ.., April 2007 -- Members of the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers (SARA), a SETI League Affiliated Society that represents several hundred amateur radio astronomers around the world, have announced a preliminary schedule for their annual technical conference, to be held 1 - 3 July 2007 at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Green Bank, WV.

Speakers and topics lined up for this joint SARA / SETI League event include:

In addition to these formal technical talks, the SARA Conference will include poster sessions, social events, coffee breaks with refreshments, radiotelescope tours, the traditional group photo session, business meetings, and the annual SARA Membership Meeting, which will include election of officers. A formal printed Proceedings for this meeting will be provided to all registered attendees.

The preliminary schedule for the three-day conference is posted to the SARA website, at http://radio-astronomy.org/meetings/sched07.htm. Abstracts of technical talks may be found online at http://radio-astronomy.org/meetings/abstr07.htm. Advance registration for the conference is required; details appear at http://radio-astronomy.org/meetings/grbank07.htm.

Largely using radio telescopes and optical telescopes, SETI scientists seek to determine whether humankind is alone in the universe. Since Congress terminated NASA's SETI funding in 1993, The SETI League and other scientific groups have privatized the research. Amateur and professional scientists interested in participating in the search for intelligent alien life, and citizens wishing to help support it, should email join_at_setileague_dot_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 scientific Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.

P.S. Tearsheets are always appreciated. Thank you.
