Contest Results: Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science
The first results from the Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science have been released!
Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge 2023
HamSCI is pleased to announce the results from the inaugural running of the Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge (GSSC). Held during the October, 14, 2023 North American annular solar eclipse, the competition was designed to recognize operators of digital mode stations who contribute valuable data to ionospheric research. Receiving stations upload their records to sites such as PSKreporter.info, WSPRnet.org and reversebeacon.net. Transmitting stations are received by stations worldwide who upload to those same databases, creating records of the transmitting stations’ activity.... Link to full results (All particpant scores, sampling of station design details and station photographs.)
Congratulations to all who entered. HamSCI appreciates your contribution to space physics and citizen science via on-air amateur radio competition. We’d like to invite you to the next running of the GSSC, to be held on April 8, 2024, during the North American total solar eclipse. We hope to see your callsign in the 2024 results. (Be sure to visit the GSSC FAQs and GSSC Rules prior to entering the 2024 competition. Rule changes may occur!!! )
If you have any questions on the results, please email hamsci@hamsci.org and we will get back to you.
