The Solar Eclipse QSO Party provided hams an opportunity to operate during both the 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses. In addition to the contest, the event contributed to scientific studies focusing on the ionosphere’s reaction to the eclipse. The 2024 contest results have been released with Dennis Egan (W1UE) taking the top spot in the single op category and Souris Valley Amateur Radio Club (K0AJW) taking the top spot in the multi op category.
