Abstract
THE vast ratio, ∼10−40, between gravitational and electromagnetic forces has prompted two groups1,2 to search for radio pulses which might accompany the pulses reported by Weber3,4. In view of the restricted bandwidths in the radio experiments, and uncertainties about the dispersion in the interstellar plasma, I discuss here the sensitivities that might be attained in other regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
