Hi there, the signal from Shannon VOLMET was even stronger, a few minutes after the eclipse maximum. Perhaps there is a time-constant associated with D-layer absorption? Final video to come, detailing how the signal had deteriorated again after the eclipse had finished. Here is a link to the previous videos, recorded 35 minutes from maxium and at maximum:    • 90m band D-layer test during the eclipse: ...      • 90m band D-layer test during the eclipse: ...   Recorded in Oxford on the 12th of August at 18:17 hrs UTC, using an Elad FDM DUOr and a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via an NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.
