The HamSCI Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science will occur October 14,
2023 and April 8, 2024 during spectacular North American solar eclipses.

  ​The Festivals will consist of multiple events, each with a goal of
  increasing our understanding of sun-ionosphere-earth relationships.

  ​Participants will include volunteer amateur radio operators, short
  wave listeners and science researchers from multiple US universities.

♦ HamSCI FoEIS Contests (Non-WARC Bands, 6-160 meters)

    * The [3]Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) using CW, FT4/8, SSB and
      other digital modes
    * The [4]Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge (GSSC) using CW, WSPR
      and FST4W modes
    * The [5]HamSCI FoEIS Contest Info Page has all of the details

  ♦ HamSCI FoEIS Research Events (40, 75 and 160 meters)
    * [6]TDOA (Time Delay of Arrival) Event - The Use of Time Delay of
      Arrival (TDOA) Measurements to Profile Ionospheric Layer Height
      Changes During Solar Eclipses

  ♦ Grape Personal Space Weather Station (Monitoring WWV, WWVH, CHU)
    * Using the [7]Grape 1 and Grape 2 Low-IF receivers to measure
      Doppler Effects on the Reception of WWV and CHU (this is a long
      term experiment - monitoring and data gathering has research value
      on a 24/7/365 basis - beginning anytime before and continuing long
      after the eclipses)

♦ Additional Events Taking Place Across the Radio Spectrum

    * [8]Medium Wave (MW) Recordings Event - Making IQ recordings (using
      software defined radios) of medium wave broadcast stations for
      future studies of eclipse-influenced ionospheric dynamics
    * ​VLF Reception Exercise (Definition in progress - please check back
      at a later date)

    * [9]2017 Eclipse HamSCI Home Page
    * [10]2017 Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) Results
