NASA Science News for August 4, 1999:

shadow. As a result, ham radio operators around the world can track the August
11, 1999 total solar eclipse by monitoring changes in atmospheric radio
propagation. Science@NASA invites ham radio enthusiasts to submit their data to
help better understand the nature of ionospheric disturbances.  Full story:
