Warren,

Dixon plans to be on; and EclipseMob.org organizers would appreciate:

 (a) additional well-controlled LF and VLF transmitter signals before/during/after the eclipse

 and

 (b) any before/during/after data from stable receivers 

One of the organizers (Bill Liles) mentioned that receivers committed for longitudes -90 to -110 are sparse (see map, http://eng.umb.edu/~eclipsemob/) and that data from receivers for these longitudes (and data from any receivers west of longitude -125, including Hawaii), would help to support a long contiguous measurement path. Additional VLF or LF transmitters would of course be greatly appreciated.  


73,

Jim AA5BW

There will be an experiment during the Aug 21 solar eclipse conducted using WWVB on 60 KHz and a U.S. Navy transmitter on 55.1 and 135.95kHz operating from California. This is a'crowd sourced' experiment.

More info:
There's a massive experiment relating to the strength of WWVB and a transmitter in Dixon California.

This article says Dixon may transmit at 55.1 and 135.95 kHz.

The EclipseMob receiver works with a smart phone acting as an SDR. as well as the source of it's position and the date-time of observation.

There is a parallel study based on ham radio WSPRNet and Reverse Beacon Network.
