[TangerineSDR] Grape PSWS on "What Hams Do" YouTube TV Show

[Dr. Nathaniel A. Frissell Ph.D.]

Hi HamSCI,

Jay Silber WA2UAR, the ARRL Eastern PA PIO, produces and hosts a YouTube-based TV show called “What Hams Do”. We are fortunate that he decided to do an episode featuring our Personal Space Weather Station, especially the Grape.

Pleas see below… it premiers this Sunday at 8 PM.

Enjoy!

Sunday, February 28th, 8 PM – YouTube Premiere  https://youtu.be/z5e8ezmLwcU<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fz5e8ezmLwcU&data=04%7C01%7Cnathaniel.frissell%40scranton.edu%7C285e8422ec944bda3c2108d8d91980f3%7Ca8edc49a41f14c699768a7f6d7c3b8c3%7C0%7C0%7C637498050859001289%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2BHVNhcvwG4BWBdC%2FaraS%2Fx1xG9PHYw3yiHtYipbYrsM%3D&reserved=0>

Did you know Amateur Radio Operators can be citizen scientists? Hundreds are taking part in a giant experiment to plot the impact of solar radiation on worldwide communications. Scientists call the interaction between the sun and the ionosphere ‘space-weather.’ What Hams Do, the TV Show, explores the role hams are playing collecting data and collaborating with ionospheric physicists as part of the HAMsci.org<http://HAMsci.org> Personal Space-Weather project.

Tune in Sunday night, February 28th at 8 PM for the YouTube Premiere of this popular show designed for anyone with an interest in the sciences or ham radio.

Better yet, click that link and subscribe to the Eastern Pennsylvania ARRL YouTube Channel (EPA-ARRL) and click the notification bell so you never miss a new show.

Funded by the National Science Foundation, HAMsci.org<http://HAMsci.org> is distributing powerful but tiny Raspberry Pi 4B computers and extremely sensitive GPS clocks to hams throughout America in advance of the 2024 Solar Eclipse to collect data on changes in the ionosphere. This collaboration between ionospheric physicists and Amateur Radio Operators increases the size of the data set so scientific findings can be more definitively confirmed.

This is one you’ll want your friends, neighbors and family to see if they have any interest in how science works. Young people looking at possible careers in the sciences will enjoy this fascinating story of how ordinary folks who have ham radio licenses are pitching in to increase our knowledge and understanding of ‘Space Weather.’
