HRN 343: TOTALED!!

WARNING: Radio Rating — D minus...

Yeah, sorry... this show is all about the Eclipse. There's barely any ham radio in it, and the video is really important.

On the other hand, we will say that pictures of the total eclipse don't do it justice, so maybe you're better off with just the audio. 

Gary KN4AQ, Jeff AC4ZO and Bobbie KD4ZVW traveled to Wyoming for the best potential of clear skies to view the Great American Eclipse on August 21, 2017. They were not disappointed.

Thanks to Frank NF9H and KC KC9MTL, we found a site that was ideal. We also touristed around the Denver area, visited Pikes Peak, the HRO store in Denver, a hamfest, WWV, the Red Rocks Amphitheater, and a super kite shop (very little of which you'll see in Gary's highly edited video).

The centerpiece of this show is video Gary shot of... not the eclipse (though some of that is there - you see it in the poster for this episode)... but the ground, the people reacting and the area going dark. You'll only hear that in the audio. Then you'll hear Gary's reaction. And maybe that's enough.
