Hello friends,
Shortwave Radiogram has several listeners in Texas. We hope you Texans are all safe after Hurricane Harvey.

Thanks to Al Holt @grovekid2 for moderating the Shortwave Radiogram Twitter account @SWRadiogram while my wife, son, and I were on the road, August 14-26. (Al also maintains the Shortwave Radiogram Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304)

Our destination was Boulder, Colorado, where son Ian is beginning graduate school. (our route is at the bottom of this email.) Along the way, we visited relatives in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. We were in St. Joseph, Missouri, for the full eclipse, but it was too cloudy to see the corona. We did experience the sudden and dramatic shift to and from complete darkness. My wife and I left the car, a little Chevy Sonic, in Colorado with Ian and flew back to Washington.

 Thanks also to Neil Howard for providing the photos for program 9.
