Dear Fellow Observers,

I uploaded some files from my observations of the (partial) solar eclipse:

For comparison the total eclipse from 1999-08-11:

Apart from my old single channel receiver for 75 KHz I'm running a 
software defined receiver based on a soundcard from M-Audio ("Audiophile 
192"), running at 192 KHz of sampling rate. Antenna is a 20cm ferrite 
loop stick with a two-stage amplifier in front of the line input of the 
soundcard.

And there is a quick and dirty animation, shot from a lighthouse-top 
here at the Kiel Fjord:
