I'm talking about an echo much shorter than 1/7 th of a second.  I
would estimate between 1/20 th and 1/50 th of a second.  This echo is
gone almost before you are aware it's there.  Like I said, it is a
very quick 'tink' sound.  By comparison, 1/7 th of a second would be
quite long.

It's interesting to rotate the antenna during a series of CQs and hear
the echo come and go depending on direction.
