Hi,
I just want to know if the world is really gonna end tonight, and if thereis life on another planet apart from us. Can you tell us?

To Destination 5: Deep Space
This is like a message in a bottle. We are far far away on a planet called Earth. I hope that if ever you find us, we will be living in peace and harmony.

Season's Greetings my tiny aliens! For your information, our moon is made out of cookies.

Hello! Is anyone out there?!!

December 2012
Hello, my name is Logan. I have many people in my family. They are all old. Our planet is made out of cookies. One side is delicious and one side is rotten. I'm on the delicious side but my friend used to be on the rotten side.

Happy Birthday Evan!! We all love you very much!

...We assembled the transmitter and tested it so that I had a baseline - works great.  I then hooked up a circuit to interface it to the computer's output card.  Because the supplied transducer has a FET preamp built in I had to make a few modifications to the transmitter.  I connected the interface to the circuit board, flashed up the computer, and tried to transmit a photo using the software....Well.... it works fine! 
I might have to add a potentiometer to the line or just adjust the output to get the right levels, but that's easy to do.  I'm also going to include an LED to indicate if the power is applied etc.  The AzEl rotator is wired up, and the circuit board fits inside the pipe. 
I may change the laser --  I used what looked like a higher quality laser. Because pointing is so critical for a two-way exchange, I'll use meteor scatter software to modulate the laser.  That way, a quick flash will get the data through.
