Program:
Joseph T. Pajor, KBØKFH, presented a very interesting program about the total solar eclipse that will happen on August 21, 2017. The eclipse, which will travel from west to east across will be seen in totality in many locations across the United States. Joe will be in Atchison, KS, which is in the path of totality, and plans to operate using the call sign KØS, from the Benedictine College press box.
People in areas not in the zone of total eclipse will be able to see a partial solar eclipse. He said that a lot of the scientific studies will take place during the eclipse across the country and the world.
The program was followed by a time of visiting about Field Day operations that took place the previous weekend.
Meeting adjourned at 1955.
