Topband: LDE on 160m

[Steve]

I had a friend (VE7BLF) many years ago who noted the same thing on 160m, 
with his 'night before' CW CQ's being heard 24 hours later! The signals were 
somewhat watery and not very stable...rather tortured sounding as if they 
had been to hell and back. The mystery continued for a few years but was 
never really solved ... we eventually decided that it might be coming from 
the neighbor's VCR.

Recently, VE7CNF reproduced the condition with a controlled experiment:

I suspect that any LDE's of unusually long time spans may be a result of 
something similar.
