HamSCI will be playing a major role at the 2023 Dayton Hamvention.  It will be held in Xenia, Ohio May 19-21, 2023 at the Greene County Fairgrounds.  It is the world's largest ham radio gathering, having over 30,000 attendees in 2022. The Hamvention, sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA), is an extremely important event for engaging with the amateur radio community, sharing ideas, developing collaborations, and sharing scientific results. The Hamvention 2023 theme is Innovation!, an excellent fit for HamSCI's goals.  HamSCI will be hosting Booth 5008 in the Hertz Building, giving presentations in the ARISS/YOTA area and hosting the HamSCI Forum..  Support for the 2023 HamSCI Hamvention activities comes from The University of Scranton, the Yasme FoundationTAPR, the National Science FoundationNASA, and volunteers like you. 

HamSCI will be in Booth 5008, next to TAPR, in Building 5, the Hertz Building (map below).  Stop by to learn about HamSCI's mission, our space weather projects and how you can play a role in our citizen science activities.  HamSCI members will be hard to miss - just look for our white lab coats!
