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 https://doi.org/10.1029/2018GL077324. 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 http://wsprnet.org/ 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.Also the google group is pretty active and has some VERY smart people on it: https://groups.google.com/g/hamsci
