Let's see ... grayline propagation is not more predominant on 160/80
than on other bands.  It's resent and can be demonstrated all the way
through 30 MHz.

The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s - at 1,609.34 meters per mile
that's 186,282 miles per second or 186.3 miles per ms not 282.3 miles
per ms as claimed multiple times in the comments.

73,

Given the number of radar junkies around I'm sure any discussion could have found a better way to do this experiment.  The interested parties can look up "pulse compression" in radar-speak, and it is not to hard to grasp in concept even if you glaze over at scary math.
