I'm going to be in eastern Iowa on the 21st, stopping off on my way back from the Madison-Milwaukee DX Get-Together for a few days of DXing in either Davenport or Burlington. Even though I won't be in the path of totality, I'm still looking forward to hearing what the AM AND LW bands are goin

--- Begin Message --- I remember DXing during an eclipse in 1963. From where I was in metro-Boston, the enhancement was most noticeable on the upper end of the dial with WKBW Buffalo, NY making a particularly strong showing on 1520 right next to local WMEX 1510. There was another eclipse in th

If there is one argument in favour of buying a SDR, this has to be it. Fine and dandy using a conventional receiver, and follow a handful of frequencies at best, and miss out on the eclipse, but why not enjoy the eclipse, record the MW spectrum and listen later to each frequency and watch it all un

I'll be teaching 6th graders social studies on that Monday. I hope it's a clear day because I'd love to take them outside to see the eclipse. We're just south of the path of totality too. Bert Sent from my iPhone > On May 28, 2017, at 1:16 PM, Volodya S wrote: > > |'m going to be outside,

|'m going to be outside, and not at the dials. I agree with Sudipta. With the advent of SDRs, and with the very short window, the SDR recording the MW spectrum makes all the difference, and should be a lot of fun to monitor each frequency! 73, Walt On Sun, May 28, 2017 at 9:59 AM, R. Colin Ne

All fairly common from Cappahayden, when Perseii are in use. We haven't been back there since 2015. I'm only on day three from that week of recordings. For now Allan will have to be the "canary in the coal mine", revealing what might be possible elsewhere. Mark was after us to get out a quick r

I've Dx'd during a 99% total eclipse -- It's amazing - the hair will stand up on the back of your neck as a moribund daytime MW band convulses and thrashes to life in the space of minutes. In decades of radio listening, there's nothing like it. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria

I’m curious as to what DX-ers will be doing during the once-in-a-lifetime August eclipse. How about sharing your plans? I will have a D-Kaz oriented at 340 degrees from North-Central Minnesota, with an SDR recording 100 kHz to 1700 kHz. Cheers! Mark Durenberger, mobile __
