HamSCI ***Informal*** Zoom Get-Together, Thursday, 4PM (Eastern)

[Gary Mikitin, AF8A]

Hello HamSCI - We will be opening the HamSCIence Zoom session at its usual time, Thursday, 4PM Eastern, or 2000 UTC, for open, informal discussion of any topic of interest to the HamSCI community:  

• Discussion of past presentations
• Questions (and maybe, some answers) on happenings such as meteor showers, solar eclipses, earth-bound asteroids (!) 
• HamSCI projects:  PSWS, MSQP, SEQP
• Other campaigns, events, meetings, accomplishments, curiosities, observations or findings

We won’t be recording, so come one, come all!

HamSCI Amateur Radio Community Coordinator

[Ronald Kumon]

I have a prior engagement during the meeting time this week, but I would like to place some requests.  The Society of Physics Students and the Sigma Pi Sigma Physics Honor Society are organizing their triennial Physics and Astronomy Congress at the Sheraton Denver Downtown hotel from October 30-November 1.  We are hoping to have more than 1000 undergraduate students, faculty, and other professionals to attend.  As the current president of the Society of Physics Students, I am helping to coordinate some of the activities.  In particular, I am trying to organize a special event station to operate during the Congress, probably mainly on Friday and/or Saturday to promote amateur radio, the Collegiate Amateur Radio Program, and HamSCI.

My questions:

1. Is there anyone in Denver or the surrounding area who might be able to help us to provide some equipment for a station (e.g., radio, antenna, batteries, etc.) and/or operate?  (I'm flying in from Michigan and am a bit cargo-limited.)  If so, please let me know, and I will follow up.

2. Does HamSCI have some information that it would like to distribute?  If so, please let me know, I would be happy to try to do so.

Ron, I suggest you contact the Front Range Six Meter group on groups.io.  They should be able to help with 'local' equipment, operators, etc.  Some of their members are active in the MSQP activities as well as other HamSci projects.

Hello HamSCI - Our weekly informal 'net' will be 'on the Zoom' (we can't say 'on the air') Thursday afternoon.  Attendance may be a bit light, as a few will be traveling, to HamCon Colorado, or, in the case of some snowbirds, from the wet and windy north down to winter homes in Florida.

Reminder:  Our next speaker/program will be Rob Suggs, NN4NT, speaking on meteor scatter, on November 14th.

Hetzal - Thanks for the question.

We do not record the informal sessions (on purpose).  We want to encourage people to share relevant experiences and ask questions.  Some would be put off by being recorded for YouTube.

HamSCI presentations by guest speakers - on the second Thursday of each month - those are definitely recorded for the HamSCI youTube channel.
