The 1963 eclipse I remembered was on 20 JUL.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_eclipses_in_the_20th_century#/media/File:SE1963Jul20T.png
Boston area had greatest effect around 2145 UTC / 5:45 p.m. EDT.
High band skip stations such as WKBW Buffalo (1520) and CKLM Montreal (1570)
had signals similar to night strengths.
Lower MW was less affected.
7 MAR 1970 and 10 JUL 1972 eclipses also had some effect on MW propagation here
in eastern MA, though seemingly less than what I experienced in '63.

>From the map at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017
the 21 AUG 2017 one will have its greatest effect around here between 1830 and
1900 UTC (2:30 - 3 p.m. EDT).
It would probably make sense to run Perseus captures on my south antenna at
top-of-hours at 1800, 1900, and 2000 UTC as well as in-between ones at 1830,
1845, 1915, and 1930 UTC.
