HamSCI: Space Weather We Can Do Together!

With Dr Nathaniel A. Frissell, W2NAF and Gwyn Griffiths, GW3ZIL

Since the 2017 Solar Eclipse QSO Party, Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) has been bringing together amateur radio operators and professional space scientists to develop new and innovative ways to study space weather and its impacts on the ionosphere and radio propagation.

In this presentation, Nathaniel shows results from the 2023 and 2024 HamSCI Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science, including the Solar Eclipse QSO Parties and Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge, the HF Time Difference of Arrival Experiment, the Personal Space Weather Station HF Doppler Sounding Experiment, the medium wave AM Receive Experiment, and the Very Low Frequency (VLF) Experiment.

Gwyn explains why he enjoys the HamSCI experience, from exchanges with scientists to learning from students while pursuing his own studies on HF propagation.

They also talk about what is next for HamSCI, including new developments in the HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station project, how HamSCI activities can contribute to amateur radio operating, and how you can join and participate.

Tonight @ 8 webinars are live-streamed on our YouTube channel and special BATC channel, allowing you to watch the presentations and ask questions online
