A Total Solar Eclipse will be visible in India on July 22, 2009 from  
early morning 05:28 hrs to 07:40 hrs IST (0000-0210 UTC). It will last  
for nearly four minutes - from 6.26 am to 6.30 am in India when the  
sun will not be visible at all. After almost 10 years we have an  
opportunity of witnessing a total solar eclipse from India, the  
upcoming solar eclipse will be longest total solar eclipse till 2114.  
According to NASA, the solar eclipse on July 22, 2009 is a 'Total  
Solar Eclipse' and the Moon's umbral shadow on Sun begins in India and  
crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, China and ends in  
the Pacific Ocean.

Total solar eclipses occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and  
the Sun, completely obscuring the solar disk for a few minutes. The  
eclipse follows a West-to-East track that lasts several hours until  
the alignment ends.

The total solar eclipse in India will be visible from many cities of  
India like Surat, Vadodara, Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Allahabad,  
Varanasi, Patna & Siliguri. Majority of the regions in India will not  
have a view of the Total solar eclipse. As per NASA data, it will be a  
partial eclipse in Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmedabad,  
Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai.

Solar eclipses have been always been of special interest to Dxers &  
can provide propagation enhancement on lower frequency bands, also of  
interest will be to monitor MW band. It will be interesting to check  
the lower bands as the eclipse progresses due to dip in the D layer  
ionization bringing typical nighttime propagation conditions. It will  
be also of curiosity of dxers to make observations of propagation  
conditions just before, during and after the eclipse. There has been  
some excellent and unusual reception during past eclipses.

Here's a collection of articles on "dxing during solar eclipse"  
published in the newsletter of "Indian DX Club Intl" during Feb-May  
1980, courtesy veteran dxer Sudipto Ghose of Kolkata :
