Thursday at 9 pm Eastern time, Sam Rose, KC2LRC will be on the show to talk about the upcoming solar eclipse QSO Party! We will talk about how it works, and how the event will help provide important data about radio propagation. Tune into Ham Talk Live! Thursday night at 9 pm Eastern time by going to hamtalklive.com.

This is going to be interesting. Looking forward to it and contributing anyway I can. I will tune in to the show on hamtalklive.com. for information.
The Lewis & Clark Radio Club, Inc. (K9HAM) will be operating under the special event callsign, K9S, from August 18 through August 21, 2017 to celebrate the 2017 Solar Eclipse. The planned HF operating frequencies are 7.225 Mhz and 14.280 Mhz (+/- QRM).
This event is turning out to be a pretty big deal here in Wyoming. I am curious about what will happen at my QTH... Hopefully, I'll be able to get on the air!
Nonsense. There certainly are effects but the assertion of ground wave propagation (80m)'conditions' will not be uniquely delineated because of the already low SFI predicted for Aug 21. IOW the ephemeral effect from the eclipse will be hard to distinguish. I have major concerns that there is little to prevent selection bias in the meta-analysis of the prop 'experiments' which seek to nudge out a nugget from 'big data'. CONTROLLED prop experiments are a different story. IMO if you are in a position to see totality, then turn off the radio and look. If you are seeing the partial, you will be disappointed by the relatively small change of visual light intensity around you. Shadows will be interesting. Radio with partial observers makes sense for the fun aspect. 73 Chip W1YW
