HamSCI: The Future of Ham Radio is Here
В  
The August 2025 issue of QST features a special 14-page section on HamSCI:
The Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation, a cooperative forum that brings
together academic institutions and amateur radio organizations to collect and
analyze data, present at conferences, and even propose scientific campaigns.
The section begins with the introductory piece "HamSCI: The Future of Ham
Radio is Here," by Nathaniel A. Frissell, W2NAF, and goes on to showcase
papers and posters presented at the 2025 HamSCI Workshop. Read QST [

The Right Club is the Key
В  
If you're a new ham, the best place to start exploring everything ham radio
has to offer is a local ham club. In his article "The Right Club is the Key,"
Mike Walters, W8ZY, lays out the different types of clubs that may exist in
your area, and offers resources for finding them. Read On the Air [

The 7300-Extender
В  
The popular Icom IC-7300 offers a wide range of functions at a reasonable
price, but Gunnar Wieking, DL5BO, found that he missed having direct access
to some of the functions that are available via second-level menus. As a
result, he developed an Arduino-based project, the 7300-Extender, that
provided the convenience he was looking for, as well as functions such as the
automatic switching of filters and antenna switches.
