What freqs to monitor today for the eclipse?

[MacEntyre]

I am waiting to get my call sign, so I cannot participate. What frequencies should I monitor with my handheld radio today?

I'm pretty sure when the sun hatches and He Who Swallows Worlds is born, all frequencies will herald his coming and ring forth in a glorious hymn of our Undoing.

Anyone ever tell you that you are, in some respects, similar to @Derek8404 ? 🤣

[You bomb, I flame... but politely, as is the custom here on CFF!]

Are you talking about HF or VHF/UHF?

Same phylum, different development environments. He spreads wang, I spread gibberish and sarcasm.

Yes.
🤔

I was thinking of just wandering around the spectrum, to see if anyone is talking. I won't get much out of listening to contests or data.

 

[noway2]

Yes.

In your area, as far as VHF goes probably either W4GSO (145.150) or the Madison (147.3450) repeater on Pilot Mtn or w4gg (145.250)

I got on today on 20 phone to see if the propagation was affected by the eclipse, and, it wasn't such that I could tell.

I worked a station in southern India, one near Venice Italy, one in Macedonia, and one in northern Vermont.
Unremarkable, so, that was that.

southern India, one near Venice Italy, one in Macedonia

Unremarkable

Show off That would be GREAT from my perspective.
