Scientific paper

Interstellar communication requires, in addition to a search in frequency and direction, a search in time. The orbits of binary stars provide time markers which can facilitate this search. It is proposed that transmitting civilizations will use alignments of binary, transmitter and receiver in choosing the time marker. Signals can be coordinated with either the turning points of the binary orbit, or the alignment of the binary components with the transmitter. These strategies can be used by nearly all single stars.
