TL;DR Summary

Amateur radio enthusiasts are teaming up with scientists to investigate the effects of solar eclipses on radio transmissions. Solar eclipses have been known to impact radio signals, and the amateur radio community is planning to conduct a large-scale experiment during the upcoming American eclipses in October 2023 and April 2024. By monitoring their experiences and sharing data with scientists, these volunteers aim to contribute to our understanding of the ionosphere and how it fluctuates during cosmic events. The experiment will provide valuable insights for improving radio communications during emergencies and satellite operations.
