K3LR Invites HamSCI Community to West Middlesex, PA

Tim Duffy, K3LR, is inviting the HamSCI community, including local schools and colleges, to a BBQ Picnic and HamSCI Meet & Greet on Wednesday, August 6th (1200 local time) at Tim's QTH in West Middlesex, PA.  (RSVP required)

The BBQ picnic is part of a multi-day field work event for HamSCI, where HamSCI students, researchers, and ham radio community volunteers will be installing, configuring and validating a Personal Space Weather Station (hamsci.org/psws) at K3LR.  Expected are teams from the U of Scranton, Case Western Reserve and NJIT.  Most of the work should be done by noon or so on Wednesday, so that’s a good time to share a meal while meeting others interested in radio wave propagation, space weather, ionospheric physics, contesting, DXing - and how ham radio plays a major role in HamSCI’s research activities.  Plus, it is an opportunity to tour K3LR, one of the best equipped amateur radio stations in the world. RSVP details are below.

• K3LR is known around the world as a top-tier contesting station, hosting dozens of events throughout the years, winning countless domestic and DX contest awards
•  Tim is CEO of DXEngineering, a premier supplier of amateur radio equipment, and a long time supporter of HamSCI
