W7ASC

W7ASC is a live amateur radio demonstration station at Arizona Science Center since 1996. Visit us now in the My Digital World gallery.

Snow or sun, our Science on Wheels Team is ready to roll 🥶 They’re in Payson, AZ today braving the snow, but that just guarantees the science is even cooler 😉❄️

An X-flare Goodbye: Region 3234 fires an X2-flare on as it rotates out of view. An R3 #RadioBlackout is in progress. Amateur radio operators on Earth's dayside, expect issues over the next hour (colored regions in map). A #solarstorm has launched but it is not Earth-directed.

SPITTING FIRE: The new region on the northeast limb (now numbered AR3186) is extremely active, shooting out jets almost continuously and there is a filament eruption in the background too! Note how small out Earth is in comparison.

A little quieter so far today and a CME off the southeast limb. Full update via https://t.co/aqK4Q6XdAY

The Science Center attended @AZSuperBowl's 100 Yards of Education: A STEM Playbook for Youth, presented by @FM_FCX, @AZSuperBowl and @EdForwardAZ 🏈🔬 1,000+ Arizona students rushed @StateFarmStdm to learn about the importance of STEM education from @LarryFitzgerald!

I had a great trip to Arizona where I operated as KE8RJU/7 DM43. I also visited the @W7ASC_ARC during the trip. On December 29 I will be operating as K8Y for December YOTA Month from EN62. I will be on the Satellites and HF throughout the UTC day. I hope to contact you!

@GeochronCo - Here is our GeoChron installed at @azsciencecenter . We think it looks great in the @W7ASC_ARC station.

[W7ASC @W7ASC_ARC]

@wa8zid with our brand new GeoChron Atlas 4k with 64” BRAVIA monitor.  This is the first installment of our new radio equipment, thanks to a grant from @ARDC_73! 

We can’t wait to continue to inspire, educate and engage curious minds through radio science 

[W7ASC @W7ASC_ARC]

@azsciencecenter @NASA_Astronauts @Space_Station @CsnTechnologies @GeochronCo - Your Atlas 4k allowed us to show @Space_Station path overhead in this demonstration contact. Thanks!! 🛰

[W7ASC @W7ASC_ARC]

@azsciencecenter @NASA_Astronauts @Space_Station Thanks to @CsnTechnologies - your S.A.T. controller system performed superbly with the IC-9700 & our antenna. It made our demonstration contact with @Space_Station easy at @azsciencecenter !!

[W7ASC @W7ASC_ARC]

Thank you to @ARDC_73 for giving us a grant to update our radio equipment at the Harkins HAM Shack at @azsciencecenter  With this grant, we’ll be able to inspire more amateur radio enthusiasts for years to come! Stay tuned for updates

We had an out-of-this-world experience today—thanks to @NASA_Astronauts Kjell Lindgren 👨‍🚀 At 1:00 p.m. today, he made surprise contact with our Harkins Ham Shack radio from the @Space_Station!

Over a dozen families witnessed and participated in the 15-minute radio contact 📡

[Arizona Science Center @azsciencecenter]

Ok but like… we literally manifested this 😎😤🤯💁

It's #NationalRadioDay 📻 Explore the science of radio at the Harkins Ham Shack!

Located in My Digital World on Level 3. Learn more about the Ham Shack and amateur radio ➡️ https://t.co/EE7MfZPiDJ

How do you communicate with #Mars during #solar conjunction? @NASA is looking at repeaters on station at Lagrange points. A fancy version of a drone? Check out this neat drone repeater closer to #MotherEarth.

Class dismissed! Ten future #amateurradio operators from one family just left. Three generations. Ten HTs programmed and tested (Under control of Steve WB4ZSC) Next step - licensure before they take the air themselves.
