BC/ISR at HamSCI 2026

BC/ISR’s Teddy Surco and Ted Beach recently took part in HamSCI 2026, the 9th annual Ham SCI Workshop, in New Britain, CT. This year’s theme was “Discovering Science Through Ham Radio.” Beach (aka KA8YRU) presented a talk entitled “New GOES Signal Application for Monitoring Ionospheric Irregularities: A HamSCI Collaboration Vision.” One of his goals is to generate public maps of basic ionospheric scintillation data for amateur radio and scientific use—including citizen science projects with the ham radio community. HamSCI, the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation, was started by ham radio scientists studying space physics to fostercollaborations between professional researchers and amateur radio operators.
