Beyond this being the last solar eclipse in North America for the next 20 years, it provides an exceptional opportunity for every amateur radio operator to participate and contribute data points for this important event. The information we can provide will assist domestic and international scientists, and well over a dozen participating universities including MIT, Dartmouth, Rice, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Embry-Riddle, and others.

Here is the latest information from Ed Efchak, WX2R. Ed is the Public Information Officer for HamSci, and you can engage Ed directly with any questions you may have here – https://wpbarg.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=1637#p1637

Our monthly meeting, held on the fourth Wednesday of the month, is Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.

We will be discussing our upcoming activities, including Field Day in June.

Ed, WX2R, the Public Information Officer for HamSCI, will be our guest speaker. Ed is an engaging speaker, and I am looking forward to his presentation.

Ed will be reviewing the HamSCI Project for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. After this solar eclipse, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be 20 years from now, on Aug. 23, 2044!

Amateur radio operators will have an opportunity to be a part of this science project. This will be covered Wednesday, including how we can be a part of this project by contributing data to help further our understanding of sun-ionosphere-earth relationships.
