For the second year in a row, HamSCI is prominently featured in the August issue of the ARRL's QST magazine. The issue's cover photo and sixteen pages of content are devoted to our science/citizen science collaboration. Thanks to the generosity of the ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio©, the cover and the special section can be read here, on the HamSCI website.
The issue's feature article, The HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station HF Receiver, by Nathaniel Frissell W2NAF, thoroughly describers the instrument, where it has been deployed, the teamwork behind its hardware and software development, and how it is used to generate science-worthy data.
Rich Mosenson W2VU authored a detailed writeup of the 2026 HamSCI Workshop, which was held near ARRL Headquarters at Central Connecticut State University.
A number of presenters (Paul Elliott WB6CXC, Gwyn Griffiths G3ZIL, Ted Beach KA8YRU) reprised their talks in the Oral Sessions Sampler. (ARRL members have access to additional on-line content, including talks by David McGaw N1HAC, Lanika Ruzhitskaya and Jefferey Mendenhall KC1ZQT)
The section concluded with A Glimpse of the Workshop Poster Session, with three poster authors (Owen Ruzanski KD3ALD, Kristina Collins KD8OXT, Nina Tormann KD3BJV) reviewing their Workshop submissions in detail.
The HamSCI Community is led by The University of Scranton Department of Physics and Engineering W3USR, in collaboration with Case Western Reserve University W8EDU, the University of Alabama, the New Jersey Institute of Technology Center for Solar Terrestrial Physics K2MFF, the MIT Haystack Observatory, Dartmouth College, the Space Science Institute, TAPR, additional collaborating universities and institutions, and volunteer members of the amateur radio and citizen science communities. HamSCI receives financial support from the United States National Science Foundation, NASA, Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), the Yasme Foundation, and the Frankford Radio Club.
