[TVARC] Solar Eclipse QSO Party, October 14

[Marty Brown]

ED Efchak WX2R from the NNJ section is asking section officials and editors
for help publicizing the Solar Eclipse QSO Party
<https://www.hamsci.org/eclipse> on October 14th. I know TVARC has a lot of
members who enjoy the technical challenge!

*The HamSCI Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science will occur October 14,
2023 and April 8, 2024 during spectacular North American solar eclipses.*

The Festivals will consist of multiple events, each with a goal
of increasing our understanding of sun-ionosphere-earth relationships.

Participants will include volunteer amateur radio operators, short wave
listeners and science researchers from multiple US universities.

*♦** HamSCI FoEIS Contests **(Non-WARC Bands, 6-160 meters)*

   - The Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) using CW, FT4/8, SSB and other
   digital modes
   - The Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge (GSSC) using CW, WSPR and
   FST4W modes
   - The *HamSCI FoEIS Contest Info Page* <https://hamsci.org/contest-info> has
   all of the details

*♦** HamSCI FoEIS Research Events (40, 75 and 160 meters)*

   - *TDOA (Time Delay of Arrival) Event*
   <http://hamsci.org/tdoa-event-2023> - The Use of Time Delay of Arrival
   (TDOA) Measurements to Profile Ionospheric Layer Height Changes During
   Solar Eclipses

*♦** Grape Personal Space Weather Station* *(Monitoring WWV, WWVH, CHU)*

   - Using the *Grape 1 and Grape 2 Low-IF receivers*
   <https://www.hamsci.org/grape/> to measure Doppler Effects on the
   Reception of WWV and CHU (this is a long term experiment - monitoring and
   data gathering has research value on a 24/7/365 basis - beginning
   anytime before and continuing long after the eclipses)
