We at HamSCI are sponsoring this as part of the NASA<br \/>\nCitizen Science project. The information learned from the 2017 eclipse<br \/>\ncontributed much to our knowledge. Now with two eclipses (October 14,<br \/>\n2023 and April 8, 2024) we have the potential to gain much more<br \/>\nknowledge. Think of the eclipse as a vast controlled ionospheric<br \/>\nexperiment. We will not have this chance again until 2044. Utah will be<br \/>\nright at the center of all of this. Here are the events being sponsored<br \/>\n(details at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hamsci.org\/eclipse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/hamsci.org\/eclipse<\/a>\u00a0):<\/p>\n<p>Ham Radio Competitions:\u00a0 The Solar Eclipse QSO Party and Gladstone<br \/>\nSignal Spotting Challenge<\/p>\n<p>Participate in a controlled experiment on the 160, 75 or 40 meter bands:<br \/>\nTime Delay of Arrival Event<\/p>\n<p>Build and install a Grape Personal Space Weather Station (PSWS)<\/p>\n<p>Your log and spot data will contribute directly to science.<\/p>\n<p>Sources for more information can be found at HamSCI.org,<\/p>\n<p>We have also written articles in CQ, QST, OTA and Spectrum Monitor about<br \/>\nthis.<\/p>\n<p>If you or your club have questions about these HamSCI events feel free<br \/>\nto contact Ron Wilcox, KF7ZN at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rglogan73@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">rglogan73@gmail.com<\/a>.
