On Thursday, July 9, Radio Amateurs of Canada will participate in the 2020 IEEE AP-S Symposium on Antennas and Propagation by hosting a virtual presentation on the Canada C3 WSPR Project.
The Symposium on Antennas and Propagation is the premier international forum for the exchange of ideas on state-of-the-art research in antennas and propagation and radio science.
Through a range of technical and social activities, it provides an opportunity to interact with the world’s leading experts in antennas and propagation, and radio science from academia, industry and government.
Originally scheduled as an in-person conference in Montreal from July 5-10, it is being presented as an online symposium as a result of the global pandemic.
Amateur Radio at IEEE AP-S/URSI 2020
Antennas and propagation are very important to Radio Amateurs so it is not a surprise that many participants are Amateurs – in fact call signs for 105 symposium registrants have been entered into this year’s registration system.
Amateur Radio activities and events have been associated with Symposia over the last six years and are usually organized by Amateur Radio clubs in the locations where they take place. They have provided opportunities for Amateurs to meet in person and to showcase the Amateur Radio Service to the Symposium participants.
This year Radio Amateurs and Canada (RAC) and the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) are both very pleased to have an opportunity to make virtual presentations about different aspects of Amateur Radio.
The ARRL will provide a virtual tour of the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station W1AW on Wednesday, July 8 at 1 pm.
RAC will present an overview of the Canada C3 WSPR Project – “An Epic Journey to Celebrate Canada and Connect Canadians” – on Thursday, July 9 at 3 pm.
Links to these events are available on the conference website to those registered. Others interested in the RAC presentation can watch it online at 3 pm on Thursday, July 9 by clicking the following link:
