Also, if you live a couple hundred miles to either side of the path of totality, switch your radio on and tune around anyway. I was a couple hundred miles north of the path of totality of the last one, and heard DX from a couple hundred miles south of the path.

No harm in switching it on, seeing what's there.

Thinking about it, CFRX 6070 AM Toronto might get some wider reception outside of its limited east coast afternoon coverage area.
