A VERY partial lunar eclipse will take place on New Year's Eve

A VERY partial lunar eclipse will take place on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2009, the last of four lunar eclipses in 2009. Only a tiny sliver of the Moon will be in the Earth's umbral shadow, but there should be a distinct darkening visible over the Moon's surface at greatest eclipse.

When and Where -- Will the Eclipse Occur? More details here.

And although this is a Lunar Eclipse, I was wondering what effect if any can be observed on the HF bands during a Solar Eclipse??
