[IRCA] Fwd: [mwdx] Upcoming solar eclipse



Somehow this didn't get to the NRC & IRCA lists yesterday. Another problem
with Microsoft Outlook 360 apparently so I'll re-post from GMail.

For those of you with SDR's, and located along its path (
http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/path_through_the_US.htm) the solar eclipse
over North American which is to occur on August 21 will present a most
interesting possibility.


I remember DX'ing during a solar eclipse back in the 1970's, and I
experienced stations on the path 'ahead' of me coming in as if it were
SS/SR propagation.


Now, with SDR's, it will be possible to record the entire band for the
duration of the eclipse, or at least for that portion where effects will be
noticeable in any particular area.


Alas, many of us in the Northeast, Southwest and North Central US won't be
close enough to the path to experience the full effects.
