Data from the 2023 MW Recordings Event are available on Zenodo.  The complete story is here:  2023 MW Recordings

Contest results from the 2023 and 2024 FoEIS events (GSSC, SEQP) have been tabulated and published: FoEIS Results

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.
