Do not forget to stop by the HamSCI booth at Dayton Hamvention and meet with the HamSCI team. The booth will be staffed by scientists, students, and volunteers eager to say hello, to catch up on the latest in ionospheric research and get your input as ham radio data collectors at the forefront of citizen-science. HamSCI is an international project to bring together the amateur radio and professional space science communities to advance both science and ham radio. This year, we discuss new results for the Large Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbance Project, a version of the Personal Space Weather Station that you can build from scratch, Meteor Scatter QSO Party Results, and an upcoming collaboration with a NASA mission. The HamSCI program (with anticipated speakers) will include: 1. What is HamSCI? (Nathaniel Frissell W2NAF) 2. A Climatology of Large Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances Observed by Amateur Radio (Diego Sanchez KD2RLM) 3. A Grape 1 HamSCI Receiver Build Project for Education and Science (Bob Reif W1XP) 4. Meteor Scatter QSO Party Participation and Science Results (Gary Mikitin AF8A) 5. CINEMA/MOVIE Talk (David McGaw N1HAC) 6. Lightning Talks / Discussion / HamSCI Vision The program time and venue will be posted on both the HamSCI and Hamvention websites as the convention date approaches. HamSCI serves as a means for fostering collaboration between professional researchers and amateur radio operators. It assists in developing and maintaining standards and agreements between all people and organizations involved. Its goals are to advance scientific research and understanding through amateur radio activities, encourage the development of modern technologies to support this research and provide educational opportunities for the amateur community and the public.
