Virginia Tech, New Jersey Institute of Techology and others are putting teams into field to do measurements of several sorts during the eclipse. A student of mine is building low power, inexpensive ionosondes to measure the height of the F layer using radar pulses on HF and measuring the round tri

Pedro, there are many reports about solar eclipses effects on propagation dating from 1912 on. One of the best is "Radio and the 1999 UK Total Solar Eclipse" by Dr. Ruth Bamford. It can be downloaded from https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.01491 It includes a number of plots of amplitude vs time at 1440

I just did an internet search of "radio propagation during an eclipse" and many pages of research articles came up. Remember, an eclipse is a local event whose path is a narrow swath with a width no more than 160 miles. See, for example, http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/maps.htm. 73, Jeff KH6O Se

Hi Topbanders In 21th August we will have a solar eclipse... Do you know any studies about propagation at eclipses, before, during and after ? Pedro -CT1EKD _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
