First hand very very early report: Bright sun, very round.
Semicircular black disk begins to cover the sun, more and more,
eventually just a teeny tiny speck of the limb remains and is very
bright, then night. Then the video tape runs backwards and it's day
again. If clouds, it just gets dark, then day-ish again. Given the
physics, they're all exactly alike, and will be for perhaps 600 million
years when the last one will occur. Like snowflakes ... seen one you've
seen 'em all, notwithstanding the urban legend that every one is different.
We'd still have driven to Oregon if it would have worked out. [:-)

We traveled to South Carolina to add in some family time. Drove from Beaufort
to Columbia to Anderson (near Clemson). Some traffic around Columbia otherwise
smooth sailing. Since you West Coast folks will see it over an hour before us,
I'm looking forward to some early first hand reports.

We're our way up I-5 to Corvallis. There's *no* traffic, suggesting that all
the gloomy predictions dissuaded some potential travelers.
Corvallis webcams showed bright sunshine at 8 this morning. Looking good so far.
20 m was quite active in all band segments yesterday. Most of my QSOs were on
SSB running 10 W to the 4' whip. The KX2's auto-notch and filtering helped a
lot with QRM.
Signing /7 got me more attention than /QRP....
