Definitely getting some enhancements. CHHA Canada booming in on 1610 with a huge signal, also the NJ TIS on 1710 with a good signal, and lots more X band activity.

Nothing of note here. At best, WPHT 1210am (Philadelphia) seemed like it wanted to break through but never really did.
-
WLW AM 700 Cincinnati OH and WTVN AM 610 Columbus OH both stronger here in Michigan around time of maximum coverage (83% @ 1830Z) than usual during daytime.
Other than that, the dog started running around the house and barking ???

Late to the logging party here, but I heard 1670 KQMS Redding; then 1660 KBRE The Bear, Merced faded up; then 1110 KBND Bend OR and 1290 KUMA Pendleton OR; then I heard 1060 KSL Salt Lake City -- all on my Sangean PR-D5. All roughly about 400-500 miles or so distant, with KSL being farther away than that.
There were probably a few other DX stations, but I concentrated on the X band and some regional channels because I knew more what to expect on those channels.
1190 KEX Portland was in louder than usual, as was a 1600 kHz station near Bellingham WA -- but sometimes both of those stations come in during 10 in the morning so I didn't count them particularly as Solar Eclipse DX.
Was a fun way to "view" the eclipse... I used a paper plate with a hole in it to project the eclipse on a dark cardboard folder -- but DXing was more fun than that.
