Scientific paper

Observations are described which relate to the total solar eclipse of February 26, 1979 as the motion of the moon relative to the sun swept out a path of totality. The center of this path crossed the 80 km height D-layer reflection region midpoint of the WWVB one hop skywave 1250 km transmission path between Fort Collins, Colorado, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This reflection region was near Billings, Montana. It was concluded that the very small 1.60 microsec phase retardation induced by this total eclipse on the Fort Collins-Calgary transmission path is consistent with the relatively short 2 min 42 sec duration of the solar obscuration of any point in the D-layer at 80 km height, because of the near orthogonality of the path of totality to the WWVB transmission path means and the estimated 4 min D-layer photochemical recombination time.
