THIS IS AN EARLIER MESSAGE FROM FINTAN DUNNE -- I AM TOO TIRED TO STAY UP ANY LONGER WAITING FOR HIS SECOND MESSAGE!!
It will come in while I am sleeping, but I promise to get it posted as soon as I wake up!

In humanity's May 1974, Ariecibo deep space transmission,
we described ourselves for the benefit of any ET's out there.
The parabola over the 'M' represents the transmitter itself.
Now, in August 2001 a crop "circle" appears which is
identical, except a DIFFERENT transmitter is pictured?!?
Ok then... let's tell 'em we WILL take a collect call.

The Arecibo transmission in detail:

http://www.seti-inst.edu/science/a-message.html
In 1974, the most powerful broadcast ever deliberately beamed into space was made from Puerto Rico. The broadcast formed part of the ceremonies held to mark a major upgrade to the Arecibo Radio Telescope. The transmission consisted of a simple, pictorial message, aimed at our putative cosmic companions in the globular star cluster M13. This cluster is roughly 21,000 light-years from us, near the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, and contains approximately a third of a million stars.
The broadcast was particularly powerful because it used Arecibo's megawatt transmitter attached to its 305 meter antenna. The latter concentrates the transmitter energy by beaming it into a very small patch of sky. The emission was equivalent to a 20 trillion watt omnidirectional broadcast, and would be detectable by a SETI experiment just about anywhere in the galaxy, assuming a receiving antenna similar in size to Arecibo's.
The message consists of 1679 bits, arranged into 73 lines of 23 characters per line (these are both prime numbers, and may help the aliens decode the message). The "ones" and "zeroes" were transmitted by frequency shifting at the rate of 10 bits per second. The total broadcast was less than three minutes.
A graphic showing the message is reproduced here. It consists, among other things, of the Arecibo telescope, our solar system, DNA, a stick figure of a human, and some of the biochemicals of earthly life. Although it's unlikely that this short inquiry will ever prompt a reply, the experiment was useful in getting us to think a bit about the difficulties of communicating across space, time, and a presumably wide culture gap.

POSTED MAY 23 1999:
A Texas company plans to make the first deliberate transmission of signals to another world in twenty five years on Monday, May 24. [1999]
Houston-based Encounter 2001, in cooperation with the Russian aerospace company Energia, will make a transmission designed both by scientists and paying customers to several stars from a Ukrainian radio observatory.
The transmissions from the 70-meter antenna at the Evpatoriya Radio Astronomy in the Ukraine will consist of two parts. The first part, designed by a team of scientists, will consist of a message describing Earth and humans. The second part will include the names and messages from members of the public, who paid $14.95 for the ability to include a 30-word message with the transmission.
The transmission will be the first deliberate, high-powered transmission to another star since a brief message was transmitted by the Arecibo radio observatory in Puerto Rico during its inaugural ceremonies in 1974.
"That 1974 message was limited to only a few scientists," said Charles M. Chafer, president of Encounter 2001. "This mission is another of humanity s early efforts to accomplish perhaps its greatest social, technological and spiritual imperative: First Contact."
The transmission, to an unspecified set of four stars the company describes as likely to have life-supporting planets, is the first of three such transmissions planned by the company. Two more similar transmissions are planned for February 2000 and 2001.
