If there is one argument in favour of buying a SDR, this has to be it. Fine and dandy using a conventional receiver, and follow a handful of frequencies at best, and miss out on the eclipse, but why not enjoy the eclipse, record the MW spectrum and listen later to each frequency and watch it all unfold. A no brainer, from my perspective! I might even also use my 2nd SDR to record part of the tropical band as well. 73, Walt
