2024 GSSC Contest Results Announced

2024 GSSC Contest Results Announced

Friday, June 28, 2024 - 10:22

HamSCI is pleased to announce the results from the second running of the Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenge (GSSC). Held during the April 8, 2024 North American total solar eclipse, the competition was designed to recognize operators of digital mode stations who contribute valuable data to ionospheric research. Receiving stations upload their records to sites such as PSKreporter.info, WSPRnet.org and reversebeacon.net. Transmitting stations are received by stations worldwide who upload to those same databases, creating records of the transmitting stations’ activity.... Link to full results (All participant scores, sampling of entrants' comments, station design details and photographs.)

Congratulations to all who entered. HamSCI appreciates your contribution to space physics and citizen science via on-air amateur radio competition. 

If you have any questions on the results, please email hamsci@hamsci.org .
