Eclipse Day (21 Aug 2017) Loggings
« on: August 21, 2017, 1948 UTC »
This is a list of things heard live. Also recorded during the eclipse and will go back for more. I don't expect much 540-1600 due to local stations at daytime power. Had numerous thunderstorms in the region and they created a mess on LW & MW.

X-band was easiest to see as we have no one in range during the daytime
