I watched the eclipse take place beginning around 6:00PM Arizona Time (MST/PDT)
and noted Utah doing very well on 650, 1080 (stn underneath probably KGVY),
1120, 1160 (KSL), and 1320. Also noted a strong station on 1140 (Las Vegas?). I
checked 640 and 1070 for Los Angeles but nothing there. I checked stations
toward the oncoming SS such as 820 WBAP, 1200 WOAI. Nothing there.

Chris,

Now if at all possible please check 24 hours later whether you are again getting the Utah stations, and 1140? Or in the next few evenings. Or any other Phoenecian DXers.

Hi all!
Years ago I took part in a total solar eclipse observation conducted by
Prof. D.D. Meisel of University of New York.Wonder if such projects are
still conducted now-a-days!

The HFCC file from 19 May lists a test transmission from Meyerton/South Africa on Monday, 21 May 2012, on 15430 kHz at 0800-0910 UTC, for CIRAF zones 46S,52,47SW (Central Africa), 250 kW, 330 degrees, in English. The broadcaster is "CAF SNT", so Channel Africa programming might be carried.
