Topband: 160M LDE

[dbevan at datacheck.com]

I have recently experienced an echo on 160M that is 
delayed only a fraction of a second, I would rather refer 
to it as backscatter. Since using a FlexRadio 1000 I have 
been able te receive weak signals only a few ms after 
letting up the key. I noticed this during periods of 
extreem QSB while sending CQ. When the echo was heard I 
got calls from EU. When the echo was not there I got no 
replies. The echo was only heard on my EU Beverage 
antenna.

Has anybody else heard this? It may be a good indicator 
that the band is open over the pole.
