|
?HAMSci amateur radio operator John Landrigan, KA4RXP will be operating Maritime Mobile off the Mazatlán, Mexico coast at the beginning of the total solar eclipse as it transits to the Maritime provinces of Canada.
The 2024 total solar eclipse will begin at the following UTC times on April 8, 2024:
The maximum eclipse will be at 12:17:19 local time and totality duration will be 4m 29s. The HamSci organization is seeking to measure and record the ionospheric radio propagations that are influenced by this solar event. In order to do so, KA4RXP/MM will be operating as a special event station, seeking your signal reports from all locations, especially in the 70-mile-wide path of the eclipse, during this rapidly changing ionospheric propagation spectacle. To maintain a sense of continuity, all radio activity will be confined to the 20-meter Amateur Radio band at approximately 14.265 MHz. Just a simple signal report and Maidenhead Grid Square location is all that’s requested. The data will then be collated and analysis of the signal reports and their locations will be done in the post Eclipse interval. The station will be operating with 100 Watts of RF power and recording the entire session to make a continuous log, keeping details as seamless as possible. Contact via?ka4rxp@... |
