HamSCI at Hamvention 2017
Overview
HamSCI will be present at the 2018 Dayton Hamvention in order to further its goal of connecting the ham radio and scientific communities. Support for the 2018 HamSCI Hamvention activities comes from the New Jersey Institute of Technology Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research, the Yasme Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and volunteers like you.
This year, HamSCI will host a booth in the new "Ham Radio 2.0: Innovation and Discovery" row, host booth talks and the HamSCI Forum, present Solar Eclipse QSO Party results at the Contest Dinner, and give a HamSCI overview in the TAPR Forum. To help out, please sign up to volunteer at the booth or offer to give a booth talk.
Booth Volunteering
Please use sign up to volunteer at the booth using the Doodle Poll. As a volunteer, we ask that you stand at the HamSCI booth and talk to booth vistors about HamSCI and your specific research interests. Feel free to bring demonstation items and materials and to talk about what you know best. The goal of HamSCI is to connect ham radio with scientific research. So, any topic that supports this goal is a good topic to talk about. The booth uniform are HamSCI labcoats, which can be purchased below.
