Folks -

I don't know who is right to answer this person's question, but I know 
it isn't me.  I'm assuming he got confused about the contacts and sent 
it to me (historic archives - archivist at nrao.edu) rather than the data 
archive and/or software folks, so I'm passing it on.

  Hi!

I'm a current VLA observer (14B-292) and think I need to buy or build an
AIPS/CASA machine and possibly find a co-investigator or paid consultant 
to
assist with data reduction.  Can you suggest an avenue for contacting
people who might be interested, such as an internal AOC newsletter with
classified ads or a bulletin board where I could post a "Wanted" notice?

This is a bit unconventional, but I don't have an institutional base for
either equipment or colleagues, so I need to improvise.  I'm getting 
help
from the Help Desk and temporary computing on an AOC node, but I have a
huge amount of data and have not worked with VLA data for 20 years and
things have changed a lot, so I need to marshal some resources (and I've
got a budget to help).  It's a SETI project, "Search of M31 and M33 for
Radio Signals in the 21-cm Band" and I've written a book on the topic 
*The
Elusive Wow*.

Any suggestions or guidance you can provide will be much appreciated!
