Radio equipment (particularly the Hammerlund multi-band radio receiver on the
right) used for a long-distance radio reception experiment during the Solar
Eclipse of 1972 July 10. This radio equipment was usually used for radio
station WLCR-AM Carrier Current, operated by Summer campers at Camp
Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca near White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

For the 2017 August 21 Solar Eclipse, EclipseMob and HamSCI are two Citizen
Science projects which will conduct similar radio experiments.

Reporting for SpaceWatchtower
Last month, SpaceWatchtower reported on
the Great American Solar Eclipse Mega-Movie Project, a major Citizen
Science project during next week's Total Solar Eclipse / Total
Eclipse of the Sun:
However, several other Citizen Science
projects will allow members of the general public to make a
contribution to scientific knowledge during this rare event ---
EclipseMob.org - EclipseMob is a
crowd-sourced effort to conduct the largest-ever low-frequency radio
wave propagation experiment during the 2017 solar eclipse. You can
build your own radio receiver and participate in the measurement!

http://eng.umb.edu/~eclipsemob/
HamSCI 2017 Solar Eclipse Experiment
- Ham-radio operators can participate in a number of experiments
to measure eclipse-triggered changes in the ionosphere.
Similar radio experiments have been
conducted during past Solar Eclipses by The Radio Group (which
operated a student-run radio station) near White Sulphur Springs,
West Virginia during the Eclipse of 1972 July 10 and by Pittsburgh's
original Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science (a.k.a.
Buhl Science Center) during the Eclipse of 1991 July 11 with the
assistance of the Amateur Transmitters' Association of Western
Pennsylvania.
How Cool is the Eclipse? - Collect
air- and surface-temperature data on the GLOBE Observer App, even
outside the path of totality.
The QuantumWeather Project
– This project is participating in a NSF-EPSCOR sponsored project
to measure surface and lower atmosphere changes during the eclipse.
The 100 surface stations, 9 radiosondes and 3 UAS will be making
measurements before, during and after the eclipse. This project is
led by Dr. Robert Pasken at the Department of Earth and Atmospheric
Sciences at Saint Louis University.
Eclipse Edge Determination
Experiment (International Occultation Timing Association) - The
organizers of this project aim to pinpoint the actual edge of
the path of totality. The most developed effort so far is at Minden,
Nebraska. Others at any other location near the path edges are
invited to record the eclipse with smart-phones and small telescopes.
The goals are to help determine the accuracy of eclipse path
predictions and to contribute to a long-term study to
measure possible changes in the size of the Sun.

How Dark Does the Sky Get During a
Solar Eclipse (GLOBE at Night) - If
you are within the path of totality on August 21, 2017, you can
participate in an activity to observe and record the faintest stars
visible as a means of measuring how dark the daytime sky gets when
the Sun is blocked by the Moon. By locating and observing the Big
Dipper during totality and comparing it to star charts, you'll help
researchers document darkness levels of the daytime sky during a
total solar eclipse.
Eclipse Soundscapes Project - For
the visually impaired, or others who are unable to see the eclipse
with their own eyes, the Eclipse Soundscapes Project delivers a
multisensory experience of this exciting celestial event. The
project, from NASA’s Heliophysics Education Consortium, will
include audio descriptions of the eclipse in real time,
recordings of the changing environmental sounds during the eclipse,
and an interactive “rumble map” app that will allow users to
visualize the eclipse through touch. Use a mobile app to assist in
this Harvard-Smithsonian project to record sound during the eclipse.

DIY Relativity Test - Uber-wonks
can follow a published protocol to replicate the 1919 eclipse
observations that validated Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Modern Eddington Experiment (Bradley
E. Schaefer, Louisiana State University) - Similar
to Donald Bruns's Do-It-Yourself Relativity Test (above), but
organized by a professional astronomer and historian of science who
specializes in difficult observing challenges, the MEE will attempt
to confirm Einstein's general theory of relativity with higher
precision than that achieved by Arthur Eddington at the 1919 eclipse.
Can you photograph the deflection of starlight by the Sun's mass with
your own telescope and camera? Give it a try!
Life Responds - There is some
evidence that plant and animal life react to the
environmental changes that occur during a total solar eclipse.
The California Academy of Sciences invites citizen scientists like
you to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to record eclipse-related animal
behavior with the iNaturalist
app.
Eclipse Ballooning Project - This
project no longer accepting volunteers. - Students
will conduct high altitude balloon (HAB) flights from about 25
locations across the 8/21/2017 total eclipse path, from Oregon to
South Carolina, sending live video and images from near space to the
NASA website. Video and images of a total eclipse from near space are
fascinating – and they’ve only been taken once before, in
Australia in 2012, see
footage. It’s never been done live, and certainly not in
a network of coverage across a continent.
Link >>>
http://eclipse.montana.edu/
Solar Eclipse Balloon Network
(SpaceWeather.com & Earth to Sky Calculus) - Scientists
and students have developed a balloon payload that can
photograph solar eclipses from the stratosphere. During the August
21st eclipse they'll launch balloons from up to 12 points along
the path of totality to create a 360° movie of the Moon's
shadow sweeping across the U.S., not unlike the NASA Space Grant
Eclipse Ballooning Project (see above). The team asks for
donations from the public to finance the effort.

Citizen CATE (Continental-America
Telescope Eclipse) – This project no longer accepting
volunteers. - The Citizen CATE (Continental-America
Telescopic Eclipse) Experiment aims to capture images of the inner
solar corona using a
network of more than 60 telescopes operated by citizen scientists,
high school groups and universities.

2017 August 21 -
Public observing session for the Great American Solar Eclipse, co-sponsored by
Friends of the Zeiss and the Mount Lebanon Public Library. The Mount Lebanon Public
Library estimated public attendance at 300. Members of Friends of the Zeiss
participating in this event were Glenn A. Walsh, Lynne S. Walsh, James McKee, and
Josie Dougherty(eighth-grade student who had just attended NASA's Space Camp in
Huntsville, Alabama).
