Overview

HamSCI will be present at the 2026 Dayton/Xenia Hamvention in order to further its goal of connecting the ham radio and scientific communities. Support for the 2026 HamSCI Hamvention activities comes from The University of Scranton, The Yasme Foundation, TAPR, The National Science Foundation, NASA, and volunteers like you. Per long standing tradition, HamSCI will be hosting booths 5007 and 5008 (next to TAPR in Building 5, the Hertz Building, map below), hosting the HamSCI Forum on Friday morning . To help out, please sign up to volunteer at the booth.

Booth Volunteering

The 2026 HamSCI booth location will be in Building 5, the Hertz Building, same as in years past. Please stop by the booth anytime to sign up as a booth volunteer. As a volunteer, we ask that you be present in the HamSCI booth during your agreed upon time slot, welcoming visitors, talking with them about HamSCI in general, HamSCI projects and your specific research interests. Feel free to bring demonstration items and materials and to talk about what you know best. The goal of HamSCI is to connect ham radio with scientific research. So, any topic that supports this goal is a good topic to talk about. The booth uniforms, are, by tradition, HamSCI labcoats. Purchase details below.

HamSCI labcoats may be ordered from https://www.allheart.com/lab-coats. Please use custom logo code C_5163_Q5D and place the logo on the left chest. Put your whole name on Line 1, and your call sign on Line 2. Use block style lettering.

Recommended Styles for 2026

Note that allheart.com changes their available styles on a regular basis. The important thing is to pick a white lab coat that fits you and put the custom logo code C_5163_Q5D and place the logo on the left chest. Good news! As of early April, the vendor is again offering embroidery, so please have the custom HamSCI logo, your name and callsign added to your lab coat.
