Hello all,
A non-profit youth group is have an eclipse party during the eclipse. A
science teacher will explain to the children about the eclipse etc and the
group had bought the glasses that are recommended on the NASA site.
Here?s where I come in?Several years ago, I use to listen to LF, ULF for
lightning, atmospheric noises , etc., on an active receiver. Is there any
site, articles, info etc on frequency?s to listen to the sun during the
eclipse on VHF, UHF +, etc. Also does anyone know if the radio signals from
the sun will be ?interrupted? as the moon passes. Any info for a radio
project would be appreciated.

Good question Greg.
The obvious answer is: Listen to the sun, and record your findings.

Yes indeed.
How about using the amateur radio code of ethics?
It doesn't matter whether one is one the air, on the inet or in person (eye
ball QSO).
We are all hams.

Greg,
Perhaps you could quickly pull together one of the variations on the
'itty bitty radio telescope'? You could point it at the sun before
the eclipse and note the signal drop-off as the sun is obscured. Here
are links to a couple of plans:
Procedure for Making the Itty Bitty Radio Telescope
http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/epo/teachers/ittybitty/procedure.html
Itty Bitty Radio Telescope Observing the Sun at 12 GHz
http://www.stargazing.net/david/radio/itty_bitty_radio_telescope.html
The first is for the original version. The second uses an RTLSDR
dongle. Either should be fairly easy to put together.

lightning, atmospheric noises , etc., on an active receiver. Is there any
site, articles, info etc on frequency?s to listen to the sun during the
eclipse on VHF, UHF +, etc. Also does anyone know if the radio signals from
the sun will be ?interrupted? as the moon passes. Any info for a radio
project would be appreciated.

One thing you may want to look into is 10.7cm or 2800MHz. This is used to
gauge solar activity and is often used instead of the sunspot number. I
would imagine there would be a significant change as the sun goes into
eclipse. A google search for 10.7cm flux should yield more than I'm capable
of explaining.

lightning, atmospheric noises , etc., on an active receiver. Is there any
site, articles, info etc on frequency?s to listen to the sun during the
eclipse on VHF, UHF +, etc. Also does anyone know if the radio signals from

Thank you for posting Terry.
I have a copy, had a quick look. Looks interesting, and will read in
detail later on. This is something I was just thinking of having a go at.
One suggestion, I would post such documents as a PDF rather than a .doc
file. PDF's are not as easily messed with (i.e. viruses) and pdf's are
a bit more universal. Not everyone has Microsoft Word or compatible
program. Word and the open source office applications typically permit
saving your document as a pdf or you can use a something like Cute PDF
which looks like a printer driver on your computer and you can "print"
whatever document you have to a pdf.

International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend
00.01 UTC 19 August to 2400 UTC 20 August 2017 (48 hours)
Hello All,
Since 1998, amateur radio operators around the world have been participating
in ILLW. W2JV, will be doing satellite forums and live demonstrations
during the weekend. I will be operating on all available passes from the
Fire Island Lighthouse,FN30IV, US0019, as W2GSB from 1400 U Saturday thru
1900 U Sunday. A colorful QSL card is available, visit www.w2gsb.org for
more information. It is likely that other satellite operations from other
Lighthouses in the US and other countries will be on the air. If you cant
find any new grids this weekend, you can start a new goal of collecting
Lighthouse/Lightship contacts, have fun.
73?s W2JV
Peter
