HamSCI Workshop 2018 & SEQP Analysis Update

[Nathaniel A. Frissell]

Hi, HamSCI-Eclipse members,

All of the SEQP data is in, and there is a lot of it! This includes RBN, WSPRNet, and PSKReporter spots, as well as the data uploaded to https://zenodo.org/communities/hamsci/. You can see some summary number in the table below. I’m working on analysis here at NJIT and preparing presentations for the upcoming American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in December and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) meeting in January.

In addition to this, we are planning on having a HamSCI meeting at NJIT this February. If you have done any of your own analysis, would like to present on ham radio and science, or just come to learn, this would be a great meeting for you to attend. In order to gauge how many people will come, I created a survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeif2G4TqNtIeA0TriO-vLF8FtheNkP4D06Llii1UwNnkTN7g/viewform

More information can be found here: http://hamsci.org/article/hamsci-workshop-2018-interest-survey

I hope to see you there!

73,

Nathaniel W2NAF

Note that column entries ending in _0 indicate the reporting/log submitting
station, while _1 indicates the station heard/worked.

# Table 1: Counts of Unique Call Signs and DXCC Entities
Table of unique callsigns during the SEQP period of 21 August 2017 1400-2200 UT.
Note that the combined column/row is not a simple addition of the prior columns/rows.
Instead, it is a count of the unique callsigns of the prior column/rows combined.
