Hi friends,

In case you are too busy and you are about to miss it:

The Solar Eclipse will be peaking at around 10:30 GMT today (Wednesday). 
Europe (like the Stuttgart, Germany area) will experience 100% coverage, the 
British about 99+%. Here might be your chance to work rare DX, 80M or Topband 
either before, during, or after. Or you lose DX and it comes back, lifetime 
experiences on all bands.

The East Coast will have a delayed sunrise (10:30Z is 6:30 local in Boston), 
which will work great on lower bands, HOPEFULLY!!

Let's see what happens. The next (total) Eclipse I guess is in 2080...

Have a nice dark day...

Regards,
Rolf  KE1Y
