RSVP for the SEQP 2023

The 2023 Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) is just a few months away! The SEQP is a special operating event organized by the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) to study ionospheric effects caused by the October 14, 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse. During the SEQP, hams are asked to operate on the HF bands in a manner similar to contests or QSO parties. Systems such as the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN, www.reversebeacon.net), PSKReporter (pskreporter.info), WSPRNet (wsprnet.org), and participant logs will provide the QSO and spot data that will be used by researchers at the University of Scranton, New Jersey Institute of Technology and Virginia Tech to study eclipse-induced ionospheric effects. Interested in joining the event?

• A Quick Start Guide to operating the SEQP is available at xxxxx.xxxxx
• Full event rules and operating procedures are available at hamsci.org/seqp-2023-rules.
• Let us know where you plan to be and what modes you plan to operate. To do this, visit the SEQP Pre-Registration page at hamsci.org/seqp-prereg.

We look forward to hearing you on the air!
