Totally agree.  I'm thinking of putting together some cheap Part 15 transmitters for the two "new" bands and setting them up as I drive up to totality.  Or sending them out to some friends along the path and recording on WSPR-X.  If the new $5 Rasp Pi modules come out in time I'm willing to bet that they might almost be the whole rig....with a bit of oomph added.  No need to go get them after the big show.

I was at the one in Munich some years ago.  A show not to be missed.  Even though it rained a few minutes into totality as the temp fell and let the sky loose!
