[CQ-Contest] Solar Eclipse QSO Party - August 21, 2017

[Nathaniel Frissell]

Hi, everyone!

As many of you may know, there is going to be a total solar eclipse this August 21st that will affect almost all of North America. I’m both a ham radio operator and a ionospheric scientist, and am coordinating a contest-like event during the Eclipse to help study the effects of the eclipse on the ionosphere. We need as many operators as possible to participate!

Take a look here for more information:

Also, I was at Dayton this past weekend with the HamSCI group, and gave a number of talks about the eclipse and the SEQP. We also had a great time at the Contesting Dinner and Super Suite!
