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)
