Ham Radio Forms a Planet-Sized Space Weather Sensor Network
Wow! I never expected to see some of my work on HN. I'm coauthor on <a href="https://doi.org/10.1029/2018GL077324" rel="nofollow">https://doi.org/10.1029/2018GL077324</a>. I worked under Nathaniel Frissell (an amazing and inspiring person) when he was a post-doc at NJIT. Was a lot of fun. If anyone wants to contribute getting a HAM radio license and setting up a transmitter on <a href="http://wsprnet.org/" rel="nofollow">http://wsprnet.org/</a> is a great contribution to a huge dataset. Setting up a an RBN receiver is also a fun activity if you're interested in that.<p>Also the google group is pretty active and has some VERY smart people on it: <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/hamsci" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/g/hamsci</a>
