HamSCI
is looking for ham radio operators to make recordings of time-standard
stations during the June 2021 annular solar eclipse across the Arctic Circle
as part of a citizen science experiment. Researchers will use the
crowd-sourced data to investigate the superimposed effects of auroral
particle precipitation and the eclipse on HF Doppler shift.
The Field Site Infrastructure Manager is responsible for:
Signing for and securing the keys to the Field Day site gates and bathrooms
Getting the 6000 pound RRRA communications trailer towed to to the Field Day
site and assisting with set-up. The trailer has a tongue weight of 600
pounds and requires an appropriately equipped tow vehicle
This year’s Site Infrastructure Manager(s) should contact
as soon as
possible so that he can arrange for access to the keys and so that he
has time to prepare the trailer for deployment.
RRRA will not be able to operate a 2021 Field Day Site if no one is willing to
undertake these responsibilities.
This video—from Rhode Schwartz—“is an introduction to the fundamental concepts
of HF propagation, with special emphasis placed on skywave propagation and the
role of the ionosphere.” 1
