<p>The next road trip and APRS test opportunity will be on April
8th. I am driving down to north-west Ohio for the total solar
eclipse. I will be parked just off Ohio I-75 near Celina Ohio,
right on the center of the line of totality. Coords are 40.4964N
/ 84.1926W.<br>
</p>
<p>I will be taking the radio trailer "Studio B"
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://WA8LMF.net/Aliner"><http://WA8LMF.net/Aliner></a> , and will be experimenting
with HF propagation changes during the eclipse. I will be
beaconing AX.25 and VARA APRS on both 30 and 60 meters, and
monitoring signal levels on the AM broadcast band. Possibly some
SSTV livecam shots of the eclipse, if the upper HF bands (15 and
10 meters) are open -- 20 meters is just too much of a mess on
SSTV. <br>
</p>
<p>I intend to arrive on site about 12:00 Noon local (US EST / UTC
-4) for setup. At this location, the eclipse starts at about
13:54 EST and will be total by 15:09 EST. <br>
