[Elecraft] OT: Don't forget eclipse

[Matt Zilmer]

Hi David,

During the ecliipse, I was on 40m using a KX3 / KXPA100 mobile in
western Colorado.  I was operating below 7.2 MHz, SSB.  Honestly, I
didn't notice any difference in noise or propagation.  Part of the
time, I was in contact with stations in Missouri, Virginia, and
Wyoming.

It was early evening, from around 7:30 to 9 PM, here.  Because I was
driving, I could only observe the eclipse visually for a few minutes
before heading away from it.  Visually, it was quite a sight.

I *wish* I could fit the K3 into mobile ops, but the car is a Honda
Civic with severe space limitations.

73,
matt
