You can be a volunteer citizen-scientist and provide data on upcoming solar eclipses - just by getting on the air!

On October 14, 2023 and again on April 8, 2024, solar eclipses will pass across the United States, presenting exceptional opportunities for hams to practice citizen-science. \ No special skill, education or background is required; all you need is the desire to make meaningful contributions to the understanding of the world around us, and the ability to get on the air and make contacts. \ Teams of researchers will be studying how each eclipse affects ham radio signals as they travel between transmitters and receivers across the US, and all you have to do to contribute data is get on the air, make contacts and submit your log.
