The best transmitter and receiver locations

The best results are likely to be for those HF links where the radio wave has bounced off the part of the ionosphere that is within the darkest part of the eclipse shadow. 

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH SIDE, NORTH OR SOUTH OF THE PATH OF TOTALITY, IS THE TRANSMITTER AND WHICH IS THE RECEIVER.

Where will you be?

• If YOU are NOT under the path of totality, using HF.

• If you ARE directly under the path of totality  using HF.

• Non-HF user
