[HCDX]: Solar Eclipse special
SOLAR ECLIPSE REPORT - Aug 11, 1999
Unusal reception of radio broadcasting stations compared to usual
monitoring conditions at Stuttgart-Germany, same place, same daytime, same
band scans etc.
Despite we had unfortunately locally heavy rain fall and cloudy sky, the
eclipse occured here at 1033 UTC and lasted 2 mins and 17 seconds in real
quiet DARKNESS.
Center route of the eclipse shadow was just 800 metres north of my house.
Locally temperature degree degenerated by 4.5 centigrade from about 18 to
13.5 within a duration of 10 minutes between 1023 and 1035 UTC, in 500
metres above sea level.
* -- SHORTWAVE
Primarily no exciting to report from the 49 mb conditions during solar eclipse.
Teracom tests of R Sweden 6065 came in very strong - as usual - S=9+60 dB.
BBCWS on special solar eclipse test to NoAM via Rampisham 7325 heard here
with 55555 S=5+40 dB. [details see under United Kingdom]
Increased signal strength receiving conditions from about 0915 til 1045
UTC, especially in the 41 and 31 mbs, and two exceptions in 25 mb like
RKI-CAN 11715 and WWCR 12160, latter one normally unheard here at this
time slot.
Generally more exiting unusual signals monitored from the west, the
American continent like CAN, USA, CUB, CTR and ATN, than came in from
South and EastEUR.
No increase in signal strength from VoT-TUR and ERT-GRC outlets.
Stns from So&EaEUR to report at stronger level:
ALB 7150, BLR 7210, AWR 7230, RAI 7240, HRV 7365 at 1000-1100.

During solar eclipse no increased reception occured on both 1197-VoA
Munich and 1422-DLF Heusweiler, due of strong ground wave signal
dominating here and usually blows out the sky wave signal.
