[IRCA] Eclipse Report - the rest of the story

As promised, here is a listing of what my SDR captured here in Seattle during this morning's eclipse. I mostly heard Oregon and northern California stations, plus KSL and a few from Idaho. There was a very pronounced enhancement between about 10:10 and 10:30 PDT, after which things tapered

[IRCA] Eclipse DX - Cape Cod, MA

--- Begin Message --- In this area the eclipse maximum was approximately 65% around 2:50 p.m. EDT / 1850 UTC. The visual difference versus full daylight was just slight. I made MW Perseus captures of 2 to 4 min. duration at 15 minute intervals between 2 and 4 p.m. EDT (1800-2000 UTC).

Re: [IRCA] ​Re: Vintage Kiwa Electronics MW Medium Wave Loop Antenna | eBay

All this chatter about the Kiwa Kiwa loop is not doing anyone any favors (Except maybe the seller). It will simply drive up the bidding and will hurt serous buyers wanting to purchase the antenna. Anyone interested in a high performance loop has already checked Ebay and knows about it. The same

I took the day off to DX the eclipse and peak darkness here (about 85% so not really dark) was about 1:20 pm CDT. Things were late developing as even 1 pm ID time was worthless, unfortunately. But by 1:10 things started hopping especially the high end. I used my Perseus and South DKAZ noting cx

[IRCA] Eclipse experiment

Gang, I drove to Grand Island NE two days early and met 3 old shipmates from the submarine I lived on way back when.   We got about 2 minutes and 40 seconds of totality.   Using my Sony SW-35, I intentionally listened on 850 for KOA every few minutes starting about 2 hours before totality.

We were at about 96% magnitude here in the Springfield area, and for about 15-20 minutes either side of the local 1:13pm maximum I did a manual bandscan (no SDR) and found conditions to be similar to what I'd get maybe an hour or two before LSS in November or December. Most all the skip

[IRCA] Eclipse DX in Alberta

Had to be at work during the eclipse, but the Perseus was busy recording. A quick check showed some interesting reception, with Sacramento doing well at 1730 UTC, with 1530 KFBK, 1380 KTKZ, and 1320 KIFM all loud and clear, as was Lodi's KCVR on 1570. Also noted KVGB from KS at 1800.

[IRCA] Total Eclipse of the DXer's Heart

Eclipse DXing on AM and longwave was a total bust here. Storms came through at about 0700 CLT, but the lightning static stayed around for hours and essentially turned both bands into pans of frying bacon. Around 1230 CLT, I gave up and went over to FM, where I had much better results.

I didn't DX live but ran the Perseus for two hours starting 1:30 edt. We had 71% of the solar disk blocked, but it was hardly noticeable. I used the pinhole technique to track progress. My eyes have enough problems for me to consider looking through even quality lenses. Some clouds but mostly
