Eclipse thoughts 2

Starting a new thread as other was closed out.

Just got around to listening to my logs from Springfield, OH, and honestly I was quite disappointed. While I did get 7 new stations, most of those were either in OH (4 were within 125 miles), or western NY/PA. I had my loop 'pointed' NE/SW, as that was the eclipse path. The farthest station I got was 1030 WBZ, Boston. About 700 miles. I did get quite a few Toronto stations, (about 350 miles mostly NE), but I have logged a couple of them during the day already, so...meh. Also got some usual suspects from Chicago, WRVA-Richmond, couple NYC stations. But nothing really exciting. A lot of the frequencies sounded like nighttime graveyard--lots of stations but nothing clear enough to ID.

Even with my two CCranes I was listening live to at the time, nothing exciting popped up.

For me, totality was from roughly 1509--1513. All the action was from 1510 or so to 1540. Before and after was basically just normal daytime reception. The peak signals were from about 1515--1525. I did notice more NE stations coming in toward the 1525 point, vs the beginning of totality for me, which makes sense.

I did not really get much to the SW of me at all, not really sure why. I did get KMOX, St Louis, but have gotten that daytime before as well.

Hope this helps someone in 2045. :)
