Save The Dates: HamSCI at Hamvention

HamSCI will have a major presence at the 2025 Dayton Hamvention, to be held in Xenia, Ohio May 16-17-18, 2025 at the Greene County Fairgrounds. Hamvention is the world's largest ham radio gathering, recently scoring over 30,000 attendees per year. The Hamvention, sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA), is an extremely important event for engaging with the amateur radio community, sharing ideas, developing collaborations, and sharing scientific results.

The Hamvention 2025 theme is Radio Independence, expressing amateur radio's freedom to explore, communicate, and innovate without limits. HamSCI will be hosting booth 5008 (next to TAPR in Building 5, the Hertz Building), giving presentations in the ARISS/YOTA area and hosting the HamSCI Forum on Saturday afternoon. Support for the 2025 HamSCI Hamvention activities comes from The University of Scranton, the Yasme Foundation, TAPR, the National Science Foundation, NASA, and volunteers like you. ​

As always, we welcome HamSCI booth volunteers.  As a volunteer, we ask that you be present in the HamSCI booth as your schedule permits, 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 discuss.  The booth uniforms, are, by tradition, HamSCI labcoats.  The 2025 HamSCI Booth Volunteer Page is up!
