Hams who played a part in the meteor scatter experiments conducted by HamSCI, Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation, during the Perseids show this past August get another chance at action in the sky next month.

The Geminids are coming! HamSCI's experiments for these meteor showers will take place on the 12th and 13th of December, from 0000 to 2400 UTC. Operators are being asked to use MSK144 on 50.260 MHz and 28.145 MHz.

HamSCI reports that the Perseids show produced more than 70 logs and files for study and the research group is hoping for similar results this time around. Hams are being invited to participate in the QSO Party in what is once again described as a combination of a contest and a special event. Rules for the activity can be found on the link in the text version of this week's newscast at arnewsline.org

As the HamSCI website says: "Work the rocks! Decode the pings."
