George:

Please share the following information sheet with the membership of TVARC for those who want to operate radios or view the event during the eclipse on Saturday, Oct. 14.  61% of the sun will be covered at 1:25 pm.

FYI - ISO Certified glasses, safe for watching the eclipse, are available from Amazon in different-sized packs.  

I have a 10-pack of Soluna glasses ($2 each).  The Astronomy Club has a 50-pack for their 'Eclipse Party' at Homestead Rec. Center.

73, Bob
