Subject: [HamSCI] Draft of NAS Decadal Survey Amateur Radio Whitepaper #1
To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>


Hi HamSCI,



Here is the draft of Whitepaper #1 for the US National Academy of
Science Decadal Survey. This paper is entitled Amateur Radio: An
Integral Tool for Atmospheric, Ionospheric, and Space Physics Research
and Operations. It is focused on the scientific and technical
contributions of the amateur radio community.



I invite you to send me comments no later than Sunday night, Sept 4.
Note that I am right at the page limit, so changes need to be small or
other things need to be removed to make room for a new idea. There are
two copies attached. The PDF is the actual document that will get
submitted. The Word document is converted from the PDF to allow for
easy commenting and tracking of changes. Note that the Word conversion
is imperfect, especially when it comes to punctuation, spacing, and
formatting. Always reference the PDF to see what will actually be
submitted.



I’m also working on a second whitepaper now, which is currently titled
Fostering Collaborations with the Amateur Radio Community. I’ll send
that out for comment as it gets a little better developed.



Thank you for everyone who has contributed so far!
