Hi Thomas,
\nHere’s two interesting opportunities for hams and SWLers from NASA:<\/p>\n

Radio Jove and HamSci:
\nhttps:\/\/www.popsci.com\/science\/radio-jove-solar-eclipse\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Link for required radio kit: https:\/\/radiojove.net\/kit\/order_form.html<\/a><\/p>\n

From the article: “Radio JOVE hopes to improve our understanding of the ionosphere… if you\u2019re a ham radio operator, you can get involved with HamSCI<\/a>, which also plans to observe the upcoming eclipse.”<\/p>\n

Sounds like fun!
\nRegards,
\nMarty<\/p>\n

This is a brilliant idea and Radio Jove is a solid project. You’re right that enthusiasts\u00a0should also follow <\/b>HamSCI<\/a> as they have many opportunities to be a citizen scientist in the radio realm! Thank you for sharing, Marty!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
