With 11 different RX antennas, and a four square TX array, I can get
a real good idea what direction(s) signal arrive.
The WL7 was definitely coming from multiple directs, as were other
signals. The largest echo and strongest sig was from the southwest.
As a matter of fact when I was QSK beaming SW, I could hear echos
from MY OWN signal (just like on 20 meter backscatter).
The same thing this morning on N6RO, when I beamed SW he had severe
echo. When I "pinged" the ionosphere on QSK beaming SW, I could hear
my own echo again.
