[600MRG] 2017 630m WSPR Eclipse Test(?)

[Ralph Wallio, W0RPK]

Perhaps we should apply our collective 630m WSPR capabilities and 
experience toward participating in RF propagation tests during the 
upcoming CONUS coast-to-coast solar eclipse on 21Aug17.  Numerous 630m 
stations coast-to-coast could transmit 630m WSPR sequences while 
numerous other coast-to-coast stations with 630m WSPR experience could 
receive and report their results.

Perhaps there should be five daily tests, 19Aug17-23Aug17, to provide 
comparison WSPR data.  Each daily test could be active from ~2-hours 
before the eclipse approaches the West Coast, 15:00UT, to ~2-hours after 
the eclipse passes the East Coast, 21:00UT.

Please indicate interest in participating in this 30-hours of 630m WSPR 
eclipse testing to this net so other participants will know which 
stations are active.

Discussions and suggestions are encouraged.
