The 24,000 scientists who attended last December's fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) had an opportunity to be introduced to HamSCI, the Ham Radio Science Citizen Initiative (www.hamsci.org). 

The ARRL Letter reports that the organization was featured in two poster presentations, "HamSCI: The Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation," by group co-founder Nathaniel Frissell, W2NAF, a post-doctoral research associate at the New Jersey Institute of Technology; and "Characterizing the Ionospher Using a Commercial Off the Shelf Software Defined Radio System," by Virginia Tech undergrad Magda Moses, KM4EGE. The weeklong conference was held in San Francisco.
