Eclipse spots
Black Michael
We (pksreporter, WSJT-X, and perhaps JTDX) are considering allow all spots to be collected by pskreporter for a window around the eclipse times.
Question is how much time do we need around the TD of greatest eclipse to make the data useful?
What we would do is include a file with eclipse date/time and turn off all the spot filtering that is done both in WSJT-X and PSKReporter. PSKReporter would then make the data available.
The number of active monitors on PSKReporter runs about 5000-9000 worldwide and the data would include the grid square (4-digit or 6-digit as available).
Any thoughts about this?

Hi Michael,
That sounds excellent. For the upcoming SEQPs and Gladstone Signal Spotting Challenges, we are asking people to operate and spot for a 10 hour period for both the annular and total solar eclipses. The selected time periods would give a couple of hours of operation before first contact (when partial eclipse first occurs) and a couple of hours after last contact (after the last partial eclipse has finished). The exact requested times are:
- October 14, 2023 1200-2200 UTC
- April 8, 2024 1400-2400 UTC
We have a lot of information posted about this here: https://hamsci.org/eclipse
We will be having multiple talks at the upcoming HamSCI workshop about the eclipse plans.
I’ll send you more info off list, as well.
Thanks for your help!
