I had an interesting experience with this file. I downloaded it and
played it back about a dozen times; I just couldn't hear the echo at all.
Then I downloaded all the other EME files that Tree has on his site and
listened to all of them, listening to the file with the loudest echo
several times, then the next loudest, etc. Then I went back to the
"RATRAT" file. This time, the echo just sort of leaped out at me; it was
very obvious.
And yes, it sounded like "RTT" to me, too. The signal seemed to be
experiencing what is known as "libration fading".
