It is proposed that the 100 foot diameter antenna at Los Canos, near Arecibo, should be used with the 1000-foot Arecibo telescope as an interferometer to reduce the effects of RF interference in SETI observations. A strategy is presented for using an interferometer either in parallel with a single detector at the large telescope, or in sequence to verify ETI detection. Examples of the nature of the interference which may be encountered at Arecibo are given from survey studies (Olson et al., 1988). It is shown that the multiplying detector can reduce the effects of RF interference by between 20 and 30 dB.
