[Scan-DC] First result of VLF/LF/MF monitoring during eclipse

[Andrew Clegg]

I monitored 10 - 400 kHz during today's eclipse. First analysis was looking at the signal strength from the Navy's VLF station in LaMoure ND. The measurements show a pretty convincing 3 dB enhancement right when the Moon's shadow was along the great circle path from LaMoure to Arlington VA. I have lots of other signals in the passband to look at but this one was one of the strongest and had a nice geometry with respect to the path of totality.

Equipment: Icom R-8600 receiver, LF Engineering L-400B active antenna, and HDSDR.

Hopefully the link to the image below comes through. If not, email me back and I'll send the image directly.

And I hope everyone on the list was able to see the eclipse!

73,
