Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

Administrator

Many of us are headed into the solar eclipse zone in the next few days, my family included. We’re leaving today for Ashland, Oregon. Early on Saturday (possibly *very* early), we’ll be driving to a campground in Corvallis, right in the Path of Totality.

There are widespread predictions of epic gridlock for many of Oregon’s roadways. I’m guessing this will be true in other states as well. Authorities are suggesting that travelers have several days worth of food and water, as they could be stranded on freeways that become parking lots. Many gas stations in small towns like Bend are already out of fuel.

The cellphone network could be affected as well. Imaging 1 million people camping, in effect, on I-5, state route 97, etc., trying to call home or reach emergency services. Under the circumstances, amateur radio may very we called upon to provide emergency communications. Fortunately many of us will be using mobile or portable stations that are immune to loss of power or cell service.

If you know of any specific networks that are planning to activate for this event, please post that info here (and elsewhere).

Lacking any defined plan, I’ll be monitoring 7283.5 kHz, home of the daily west-coast “Noontime Net”. 40 meters is ideal for this sort of regional coordination and emergency traffic, especially in areas not well served by VHF/UHF repeaters. I’ll have a KX2, some wire, and a couple of Li-ion internal battery packs.

Re: Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

I flew to Portland yesterday from the bay area. We'll be in Albany.

Mt Jefferson (one of the taller peaks in the Cascades) is right in the
middle of the Path of Totality. don't know the coverage area of the
repeaters referenced in the link, it may not be that widespread if info in
the link is any indication but perhaps worth a listen:

Re: Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

I'm hearing the Oregon Connection linked UHF system will be active during
the Eclipse, looks like this has good coverage of the Hwy 5 Corridor:

As is 60 meters. Most of our daytime frequencies in SE Asia were in
the 5 MHz range. Worked great from mainland to Philippines. From info
we got on our trip to PNW DXC in Spokane last weekend, the expectations
for gridlock, both before and after the eclipse, are pretty high.

Re: Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

Those of you in California are likely familiar with the camera network present on the larger California interstates/highways. For those of you who are not, here is a link to the network in the northern third of the state (on the way to Oregon). I-5 is basically the only efficient route from Southern/Central California to the eclipse area.

http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist2/travelmap.htm Should make for interesting viewing this weekend. Click on the red dots to view the camera at the site.

I for one plan to stay well clear of I-5 this weekend…

Oregon road cams…

https://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/RCMap.asp# <https://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/RCMap.asp#>

They look as normal as can be. I am wondering if that previous posted FB video is accurately portraying. From the looks of the hills and trees, definitely east of the Cascades in that video if it is indeed Oregon.

My plans for the Eclipse.

If all goes according to plan and my schedule, I plan to sleep thru it.

I need the sleep more.

I-25 In Colorado is going to be a complete mess. They are expecting
over 500k people to go to Wyoming essentially doubling the population.
Wyoming will not have the resources to handle this. Anyone going are
being told to bring fuel and food, etc. We have decided to stay home.
Heavy traffic expected Tomorrow through Wed!

The weather in Oregon has turned toward autumn. After the last two
weeks of smoke and heat I have awoken to clouds and cool weather again.
The Willamette Valley is only now (11:30 AM) clearing from the morning
clouds. Oregon Department of Transportation is predicting an 8 hour
travel time between Portland and Albany during the peak travel times to
the path of totality. They are advising you travel with extra gasoline
and enough food and water for two days. Very good practice for an ECOM
event. Grocery stores and gas stations will most likely be sold out by
noon. Clear skies abound east of the Cascades but travel will be even
worse outside of the I-5 corridor.

Good Luck and stay safe,

Kevin. KD5ONS

Re: Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

In reply to this post by w0mu

A friend of mine, a life-long astronomy buff who sold telescopes and
other optical instruments, told me he had one chance prior to this one
to see a total solar eclipse. But the reports of anticipated mobs and
traffic were so overwhelming that he decided to stay home. One of his
friends, however, went in spite of the reports and later told my friend
that there was no problem, no traffic, no crowds. When I scouted a
possible location for this eclipse I found many places out in "the
boondocks" and away from advertised locations that, I doubt, will have
much traffic or crowds. If I had plans to go, I'd do it anyway, taking
the recommended amount of food, gasoline, etc. But I've seen one and
have photos to prove it. Wonderful experience, and though I might alter
my destination location, I wouldn't cancel plans for this eclipse if I
hadn't experienced one. And by the way, the one I saw was from a
location (the only possible one in that region) that was just inside the
edge of the totality path. So we had a few seconds less totality time
than being at the center. Still a great experience. You don't have to
be in the exact center of the path to get the "full" benefit.

73, and good viewing,

Have fun, Wayne. We're now in Boise where an Uber driver said her peace
officer husband and his colleagues will be maximally deployed on Monday in
and near the zone. Boise itself will only be about 99.5% of totality, the
difference being, ... er, "night and day." I'll be viewing from a
pre-scouted location east of here, inside the zone, with an alumni travel
group led by a well-regarded astronomer. If I get the antenna set up, I'll
look for you on 7283.5 with my internal-battery KX2. Alas, I forgot the
external battery, so I'll be amp-hour-limited!

>>> If you know of any specific networks that are planning to activate for this event, please post that info here (and elsewhere).

I'm at my summer home in the mountains of western North Carolina, near Hendersonville,and we're expecting 99.9% totality at this QTH.
From the reports in the local news media, a huge influx of visitors is expected, which will basically saturatethe region, including (especially) the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (which spans parts of bothNC and TN), as well as the lower part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Local EM officials are very concernedabout response times for emergency response units because the roads in that area are narrow (very fewof which are 4 lane), and very winding, with many switchbacks, blind corners, and steep drop-offs.
Buncombe County ARES (greater Asheville) has been enlisted to provide additional communications toaugment normal first response communications facilities.
Other counties have not, as yet, to my (admittedly limited) knowledge, formally called up local ARES groups.
I'm reasonably certain, based on personal experience with holiday traffic, that Interstate 40 in western NC,and Interstate 26 in western NC and upstate SC (and probably all the way down to Charleston) will bevery, very crowded/jammed. Both of them are mostly 4-lane, albeit with some hill-climbing lanes for trucks,but tend to get very crowded, even on "normal" weekends.
There are several 630m experimental stations in the immediate vicinity who are planning WSPRtransmissions throughout the event, and reception reports are always appreciated.
Luckily, it's a short walk (~1/4 mile) for my XYL and I to the local community park from which we can observe.

Re: [KX3] Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

In reply to this post by wayne burdick

I am planning on being up in the Strawberry Mtn Wilderness area (if it's
not saturated with people) south
of John Day. I'm hoping to get on with the KX2 for the SEQP as well.
Looking to do a couple of SOTA
peaks prior to the big event. When I get up there depends on when I
get out of Elko. Been stuck over
here for going on two days now (work related).

Here's a good link I got from W6EU last week. Good Oregon road and
webcam info:
https://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/RCMap.asp#

Oregon has a pretty good linked repeater system:
https://www.w7pra.com/

http://www.arrg.org/repeaters.htm

The Oregon Connection link comes up as a dead link, so not sure what's
going on with that system...

Good idea on the RV Svc net. There's also the Jefferson Noon Net daily
at noon on 7204 plus or minus,
but I think they're mostly NorCal and Reno area ??

I'll be using W7TR for the SEQP from grid DN04ph with KX2 and a 20M
EFHW. Sounds like fun!

I also read something about some of the rural areas of Oregon not taking
ATM debit cards, so carry cash ;-)
(I've never experienced that though and Ive played in eastern OR quite a
bit - just passing on what I read)

I did Salmoncon back in July, and the consensus among some of the group
that were heading to the coast
said it was going to be pure chaos...

Re: [Elecraft_K3] Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

In reply to this post by wayne burdick

That’s for sure! The horror stories I’m hearing about the fiasco that’s about to engulf Oregon almost make me glad I’m not up there this summer, as we usually are. Doctor’s appointments have kept us close to home.

Bend, Oregon isn’t exactly a “small” town these days. It used to be! When I lived there, many years ago, it had less than 12K people. Redmond had 3K. Then it got “discovered”—and developed! Now there are closer to 200K people in Bend’s metro area! It is the fastest growing town in Oregon!

Those going to Oregon to watch the eclipse better bring their wallet. I’ve heard that motels/hotels are charging upwards of $2500 a night around eclipse time! That’s insane. I-5 will be gridlocked with an estimated additional 1 million visitors. I’m having great difficulty seeing the justification for going through all of the hassle, and expense, just to watch an eclipse. Maybe for the scientists among us it makes sense, but for the rest of us, it’s just a “gee whiz” moment!

Probably the most extravagant thing I’ve ever done was to pay upwards of $400 a ticket a few years ago for ‘’decent” seats to see The Rolling Stones, which I thought I had to do at least once! It’s probably even more now! If he were still alive, I would probably pay that much to see Luciano Pavarotti (again!), but I can’t swear to it! Hi.

Re: Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

We live 0.7 miles from the point of 100% totality lasting for some 2 minutes 30 seconds. Guess I'll ride my bike up the road to the point. At our house we will only have something like 99.2% totality.
