SEQPs are a series of global experiments &#8212; and you can be a part of them. Solar eclipses will pass across the continental United States on October 14, 2023, and April 8, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During these celestial events, you can join thousands of fellow amateurs as part of the largest crowd-sourced event for ham radio scientific exploration. The SEQP is part of the Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science and is for learning more about how the ionosphere works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All radio amateurs need to do is operate using any mode and any band for all or part of the day, then upload their logs. Participation can be from anywhere; you don&#8217;t need to be near the path of the eclipse to contribute valuable data. You don&#8217;t even have to be a licensed ham to participate in the experiment (only to transmit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For SEQP contest and rules, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamsci.org\/contest-info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.hamsci.org\/contest-info<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For information on the Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge using CW, WSPR, and FST4W, go to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamsci.org\/contest-info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.hamsci.org\/contest-info<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re an SWL or AM DXer, you might be interested in the Medium Wave Recording Event.

Researchers will take the submitted logs and work to derive meaningful observations from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ARRL members can find out more about the SEQP by reading &#8220;The Solar Eclipse QSO Party: A Fun Way to Support Radio Science&#8221; in the September\/October 2023 issue of\u00a0<em>On the Air\u00a0<\/em>magazine. The On the Air podcast will feature the article&#8217;s author, Gary Mikitin, AF8A, talking about the event. The episode will go live on October 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrl.org\/news\/solar-eclipse-qso-party-seeks-amateurs-and-radio-enthusiasts-for-global-experiment\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.arrl.org\/news\/solar-eclipse-qso-party-seeks-amateurs-and-radio-enthusiasts-for-global-experiment\">ARRL<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>09\/29\/2023 ARRL is proud to partner with HamSCI to help promote participation in the Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP).
