HAMSCI Plans Conference for its 'Big Year'

Speaking of HamSCI, the citizen science investigation community is expecting a big year. In fact, that's the name of its next conference.

HamSCI is asking everyone to "save the date" and plan to attend its conference in March at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey. Hams and the various communities of professional researchers will share their thoughts during technical and scientific presentations that will be available both in-person and virtually. The conference theme is "HamSCI's Big Year," and the dates are 14-15th March 2025. The discussions, as always, will include how amateur radio techniques can help illuminate the study of ionospheric disturbances and other phenomena including solar flares, sporadic E and geomagnetic storms.

RSGB is looking for a new Lecture Coordinator

The RSGB facilitates just over 60 lectures each year in a mixture of in-person, hybrid and remote formats. 50 of these are at the RSGB Convention and 11 are delivered through the livestreamed Tonight@8 webinar programme of events.
