ARRL Hosts Successful HamSCI 2026 Workshop

The worlds of amateur radio and ionospheric science came together once again on 14-15 March 2026 at the 9th annual HamSCI Workshop. HamSCI 2026 was hosted by ARRL and held at Central Connecticut State University, just minutes away from ARRL Headquarters in Newington.
