Our own Bruce KN4GDX is supporting the effort and has an article published in hamSCI ( Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation). You can help with a HF or 6M radio with wsjt-x. You can help even without transmitting.
Here is an excerpt :
hamSCI is preparing for a series of meteor scatter (MS) experiments later this year. The target storms will be peaking on August 11-12 (Perseids) and December 12-13 (Geminids). Preparation and testing are underway now. This is a combination ‘special event’ and a contest to generate contact data during meteor scatter events using 10 meters and 6 meters. Operating Guidelines are under development.
This month’s Lyrids shower (peaking April 21-22) is an excellent time to set up your equipment and join with other operators preparing for the events later this year. If you do not have the time to be active, at least set up passive reporting. PSK Reporter currently has scarce 10M MSK144 monitors; so we need to increase those numbers during the early morning hours.
Anyone wishing to help define these events, generate ‘how-to’ documents, or assist with post-event data analysis, please join the HamSCIENCE Zoom telecons on Thursday afternoons (4PM US Eastern Time Zone).
