Re: “Observe” August's Eclipse with Your AM Radio - Sky & Telescope

[Bill Liles]

Folks, the propagation path will work but there will be lots of
interference since stations do not have to operate under night time rules
such as changing power levels and antenna patterns.

Two stations that work in the Greater Washington DC area are WFAN on 660
kHz and WABC on 770 kHz.

To help disambiguate, you can listen at the same time to these radio
stations over the internet. Just do a search on their call sign and both
stations have a live listen button on their home page.
