[IRCA] Eclipse DX in Seattle



I had the SDR running during today's eclipse. Most of the time I was outside watching the event, but a subsequent check of the the files showed lots of sunset-like activity. The Portland area stations on 1550 and 1640 were the first to fade in at about 9:00. After that, things slowly picked up, and was quite lively for a while. There were ID's from KSL and KFBK at 10:30 local time (About 10 minutes after we had 93% of totality in Seattle).

Most of the DX was in from about 20-25 minutes before to about 20-25 minutes after totality. By 11:00 it was almost all gone. Most of the stations seemed to be from Oregon, but I'll go through the files and send a full report later today.

It'll be interesting to see what the eclipse DX was like elsewhere.
