Preliminary results are presented for a high-resolution search for narrowband signals from the direction of 210 nearby solar-type stars and five OH masers. The 305-m Arecibo radio telescope was used to seek narrowband radio emission at frequencies surrounding the 21-cm H I line and/or the 18-cm OH lines; the observations were made in right and left circular polarizations simultaneously. At the 98% level, 291 'birdies' were found, of which six sources at 18 cm and eight at 21 cm are considered potential candidates for reobservation and further study to identify the nature of the signals. It is noted that: (1) five of the 21-cm 'birdies' are probably H I clouds along the line of sight; (2) some of the 18-cm 'birdies' are associated with the extreme 13 frequency bands bordering unprotected bands above and below the established radio astronomy band; and (3) one of the 21-cm 'birdies' is distinctly narrowband and has no signal detected in the 'off' source.
