Via the ARRL: Solar Eclipse One Month Away

A total solar eclipse that will be seen across North America will occur on Monday, April 8th. It will be the last of its kind in the US for the next 20 years.

Hams across North America are asked to participate in a study about how the ionosphere functions by getting on the air to help scientists in a series of ionospheric experiments.

Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) has presentations for hams interested in participating on Wednesday, March 27 at 8;00 PM (Eastern) – 5:00 PM (Pacific)*, and that same day at 10:00 PM (Eastern) – 7:00 PM (Pacific)*. Both 30-minute presentations will held on Zoom and they will feature HamSCI’s Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science (FoEIS). The presenters will take your questions during the presentations.
