  • Solar Eclipse QSO Party

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Thu Aug 3 14:16:22 2017
    Hello All,

    Are any of you going to participate in the Solar Eclipse QSO Party going on August 21? I am lucky enough to live close enough to the line of totality to where I will catch a glimpse (however brief) of the solar eclipse.

    Is there something specific? I'm not an ARRL member and I haven't heard
    of anything in particular - BUT - we are going to be at Gencon the
    weekend before and planning to time it right so we are in the path
    of totality at the right time as we head south from Indy...

    I will be at work (like I am now) but I will still get out and view at least
    a good part of the eclipse as I'm less than 100 miles from the path of totality.
