We present results from a targeted survey undertaken with the 305m Arecibo radiotelescope to detect HI-line emission from disk galaxies at redshift z>0.16. The targets for the observations, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database, are non-interacting disk galaxies in relatively isolated fields. HI profiles of adequate quality for flux and velocity width measurement were obtained for ~30 galaxies in the redshift range 0.17-0.26 (i.e. 2-3 Gyr lookback time). The HI masses of these objects are 3-8×1010 Msolar. Our results prove, for the first time, the feasibility of single-dish HI observations above redshift z = 0.2. In particular, this sample includes the highest redshift detections of HI emission from individual galaxies to date.
