| Abstract: | A large Luneberg-type antenna with accessories is described as a means of simultaneously monitoring a large number of stars for possible intelligent signals. Various contacting strategies are compared on their probability of success and arguments are advanced favoring a program of transmission at a wavelength of 21 cm to the nearest stars. |
