[Elecraft] Eclipse update

[Fred Jensen]

First hand very very early report:  Bright sun, very round.  
Semicircular black disk begins to cover the sun, more and more, 
eventually just a teeny tiny speck of the limb remains and is very 
bright, then night.  Then the video tape runs backwards and it's day 
again.  If clouds, it just gets dark, then day-ish again.  Given the 
physics, they're all exactly alike, and will be for perhaps 600 million 
years when the last one will occur.  Like snowflakes ... seen one you've 
seen 'em all, notwithstanding the urban legend that every one is different.

We'd still have driven to Oregon if it would have worked out. [:-)
