I went to tHel PNW to view this total solar eclipse. Found a place about 1
hour east of Portland, Ore a few miles south of the Columbia River Gorge with
low horizons with clear skies, a rare event. At sunrise birds started singing
and 10M opened to the east coast. As the eclipse started to o
I found the discussion listed by N4HY to be an interesting read.
In 1979 thee was a total solar eclipse of the Western US which occurred
several hours after sunrise. The solar display was incredible and radio
propagation was very much so enhanced on 160 with openings to East Coast
of the US an

This sounds really interesting. Should be able to ramp up a mob of activity
for that. 160 up through VHF. Be very interesting to see if edge of eclipse
is a propagation enhancer.
Too bad eclipse isn't ten days later on Field Day. That would be a flood of

We'll start talking this on
During the eclipse next year we will undertake a ham radio based study of
the Ionosphere using RBN.
