LOS ANGELES (UPI) - If you think long-distance telephone calls cost too
much, try this one - 3 billion miles for 50 cents.
  From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT next Monday, the public can call a special
number - 1-900-410-4111 - and listen to a one minute tape recording of
the radio signals beamed from Pioneer 10 when the spacecraft was nearly
3 billion miles from Earth.
  The telephone network was set up by TRW.
