In my work on SETI I helped develop a version of the Fast Fourier Transform Analyzer, and over this period Dr. Kraus and his graduate students, including me, worked on the then secret GPS for the US Navy.  In 1983 that system was declassified by the Reagan administration and in 1995 it was fully operational.  The Clinton Administration after canvassing those who worked on the program declassified all aspects of the system.  Following that, in March 1996 I gave testimony in support of the 1996 Space Policy Act strongly supporting commercialization of space launch.
Along the way I invented the computer based cash register and a golf ball that changes colors.  I started companies to commercialize these ideas and was successful in both those ventures. worked on SETI whilst in graduate school, http://trashotron.com/agony/columns/05-24-02.htm http://www.bigear.org/JDKpassage- articles.htm#Dispatch20040723
