The Nashoba Valley Amateur Radio Club’s May meeting is Thursday, May 21st, at the Pepperell Community Center. We’ll start socializing at 7:00 PM, with the main meeting kicking off at 7:30 PM.
Guest Speaker: Phil Erickson, W1PJE
Part 97 of the FCC rules states that a primary purpose of the amateur radio service is the “Continuation and extension of the amateur’s proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art.” Recent advances in the fields of computing, software defined radio, and signal processing provide unprecedented opportunities for radio amateurs to meet this mandate, specifically in the field of radio science.
HamSCI (https://hamsci.org/), the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation, is a platform for the publicity and promotion of projects related to this.
Phil will provide an update on HamSCI activities from the recent March 2026 workshop held near ARRL headquarters, including the current configuration of the Personal Space Weather Station and other relevant projects. Phil is a wonderful speaker, and we are all looking forward to the presentation.
Hope to see you there. Feel free to bring a family member or friend!
