ANS-130 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin
To: All RADIO AMATEURS
From: Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation
712 H Street NE, Suite 1653
Washington, DC 20002
DATE 2023 MAY 10
TAPR/AMSAT Hamvention Banquet Ticket Deadline is Friday, May, 12, 2023.
The deadline for ordering tickets for the 2023 TAPR/AMSAT Hamvention Banquet
is only two days away - the deadline for purchasing banquet ticket is Friday,
May 12th! Remember, there will be no banquet ticket sales at the AMSAT booth
or at the banquet door.
The 14th annual TAPR/AMSAT Banquet will be held at the Kohler Presidential
Banquet Center on Friday, May 19th at 18:30 EDT. This dinner is always a
highlight of the TAPR (Tucson Amateur Packet Radio) and AMSAT (Radio Amateur
Satellite Corp.) activities during the Dayton Hamvention.
This yearâ€Ös banquet speaker is Dr. Nathaniel A. Frissell, W2NAF, who will
talk about the upcoming solar eclipses and the exciting ways hams are
contributing to the scientific research around these events.
The Kohler Presidential Banquet Center is located at 4548 Presidential Way,
Kettering, Ohio – about 20 minutes away from the Greene County Fairgrounds.
Tickets ($60 each) may be purchased from the AMSAT store. The banquet ticket
purchase deadline is Friday, May 12th. Banquet tickets must be purchased in
advance and will not be sold at the AMSAT booth. There will be no tickets to
pick up at the AMSAT booth. Tickets purchased on-line will be maintained on a
list with check-in at the door at the banquet center. Seating is limited to
the number of meals reserved with the Kohler caterers based on the number of
tickets sold by the deadline.
Order your tickets online at:

Dr. Nathaniel Frissell, W2NAS, is Guest Speaker at 2023 TAPR/AMSAT Banquet
Dr. Nathaniel A. Frissell, W2NAF, will be the guest speaker at the 2023
TAPR/AMSAT Hamvention Banquet. He will talk about the upcoming solar eclipses
and the exciting ways hams are contributing to the scientific research around
these events.
Dr. Frissell is a Space Physicist and Electrical Engineer at the University
of Scrantonâ€Ös Physics and Engineering Department. Dr. Frissell has a
passion for radio science and remote sensing of the ionosphere. He was
introduced to space physics and space weather in middle and high school
through the hobby of amateur (ham) radio, where he was fascinated by
long-distance radio propagation and the variability imposed on it by the
geospace system.
In addition to leading him to pursue a Ph.D. in this field, it enabled him to
found and lead the Ham radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI,
hamsci.org), a citizen science collective that aims to bring together the
professional research and the amateur radio communities. This has led to the
Solar Eclipse QSO Party, a nationwide ham radio experiment to study the
August 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse (hamsci.org/seqp), and an ongoing
collaboration with the amateur radio electrical engineering organization TAPR
(tapr.org) to develop a Personal Space Weather Station
(hamsci.org/swstation). For his efforts, the amateur radio community has
awarded him the prestigious 2017 Yasme Foundation Excellence award and the
2019 Dayton Amateur Radio Association Amateur of the Year Award.
In 2019, Frissell received a $1.3 million National Science Foundation grant
to fund a 3-year initiative to measure modulations produced in the Earthâ€Ös
upper atmosphere. The grant supports a collaborative team to develop the
HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station, a modular, multi-instrument,
ground-based space science observation platform used to study variability in
the coupled geospace system and to better understand HF radio propagation.
In 2021, he was awarded a $481,260 grant through the NASA Space Weather
Applications Operations Phase II Research Program. Frissell served as
principal investigator for a research project entitled, “Enabling Space
Weather Research with Global Scale Amateur Radio Datasets.” He collaborated
with Philip Erickson, W1PJE, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Haystack Observatory and Bill Engelke, AB4EJ, at the University of Alabama.
“This grant includes significant funding for participation of Scranton
undergraduate students in this research, as well as support for new
computation resources,” Frissell said. He explained that the grant will
fund “the development of an empirical model for the prediction of traveling
ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) in high-frequency radio communications while
investigating the geophysical drivers of these disturbances.” The grant
covers two years of work.
Frissell said that the predictive, empirical TID models being developed uses
data collected by the Reverse Beacon Network, WSPR, and PSKreporter â€ö
automated, global-scale radio communication observation networks operated by
the amateur radio community. Undergraduate students help the faculty
researchers to create algorithms used for the model development.
This NASA award complements a 5-year National Science Foundation grant of
more than $616,000 that Frissell received in 2020. That investigation aims to
understand the source of TIDs observed in amateur radio and other scientific
datasets.
In addition, Dr. Frissell has a long-time passion for teaching and education.
He earned his B.S. in Physics and Music Education from Montclair State
University (2007). He voluntarily coordinated and taught amateur radio
license classes and radio and astronomy merit badge classes. An Eagle Scout
and Vigil Honor Member, Dr. Frissell taught science and technology for six
summers at Forestburg Scout Reservation in New York, and taught amateur radio
with the K2BSA group at multiple Boy Scout National Scout Jamborees.
