Greetings All,
I am afraid I have to take issue with you Wolf. And this may be a clue. I
also have experienced echoes on 160 meters. Maybe it depends on longitude or
latitude or something like that. N6TR not being too far away has also
experienced them. All that being said I am positive due to my observations
that a short delay has occurred here twice. During the one event one station
sent me a message asking what was wrong with my signal. Tests confirmed there
was nothing wrong with the signal and the echoes slowly faded away.
Unfortunately I did not have the presence of mind to determine directionality
or make a recording. The echoes were quite strong and lasted for several
minutes. Guessing would put them at less than 100 mSec separation. My first
thought at the time was that my receiving array was failing in some strange
mode but that was definitely not the case.

hello reflectees,
i never ever experienced echoes on 160. And i do a lot of transmitting and have
relatively sensitive rx systems.
Given the laws of field expansion and attenuation i consider it a hoax.
I have had round the globe echoes on 20m. But was using 6 el monobander with
power and at the rite time, when we had greyline. Sometimes 2 to three rounds.
That was physically explainable.
Anything else is from the land of Alice.
