But we on the west coast will be! I don't have any experience with prior
MW DX during solar eclipses, but I do remember scanning the 60 m tropical
band, back in the days when it was populated, and sure enough, the stations
did come up for a brief time as the eclipse began, and the sky darkened.
Russ is right about the beauty of SDRs. I'll for certain have mine
running, while I'm outside enjoying the near totality in Victoria!
