I remember one partial eclipse while we were in Nottingham. Someone was wanting to know if a particular short-wave radio station would be audible in Britain during the totality elsewhere: it was on a frequency where there were no audible stations during sunlit hours. Sadly, the receiver I was using for this picked up a signal on the image channel* throughout, which ruined the experiment for me.

I remember Here Comes The Sun being played on the interfering station just after, let's say, peak darkness, but I never did hear the results of the experiment. This was in the days before "crowd-sourcing" was coined, and the crowd in question was presumably all outside, watching the show.

* As far the "wrong" way from the local-oscillator frequency as the desired signal is the "right" way from it.
