(1b) Visual Appearance of Lunar Eclipses
(2) Apr 15, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse
(3) Total Eclipse of the Moon: April 15, 2014 (by Fred Espenak)

What is a tetrad?

 It’s four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial lunar eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons)

 Lunar Eclipse Diagrams -- for your lawn chairviewing spot
The following diagrams (in high resolution) show the Moon's path through Earth's shadows during April's eclipse. The times of major eclipse stages are given for time zones throughout North America. Please choose the diagram for your own time zone. Each diagram is a GIF file with a size of about 110 KB.

Updated 2014-04-12 AM 

Some of the newer people will not know that
Lee [N7KC], Bob [K9PQ], et.al. did a long running net on PSRG called the
Educational Radio Net
We had a blog to support the net and it is still a good resource.

 

-- "Bothell" Bob [K9PQ]

Educational Radio Net

This blog supports the Educational Radio Net, an amateur radio net that takes place Wednesdays at 8:00PM on the 2 meter repeater of the Puget Sound Repeater Group, 146.96MHz -600, with a tone of 103.5, located on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. 

The purpose of this net is to help our fellow amateur radio operators learn theory, gain practical knowledge, and generally benefit from the experience of the more seasoned operators. 

Your hosts are Bob Helling, K9PQ, and Lee Bond, N7KC.
