Listening To Mars
If anybody on Mars tries to communicate with the earth by radio, Mr Grote Reber, a radio engineer of Wheaton, Illinois, will be the first man to know. He believes he \yill be able to pick up the message. He spends hours with one of the most intricate and sensitive receivers ever made, listening to cosmic noises and studying radio waves, hoping to hear a strange, inhuman voice or detect a dot-dash signal coming through stellar space to the world of men.
It is possible, he thinks, that if there are Martians who know about radio, they may eventually possess transmitters sufficiently powerful to broadcast to the earth.
