Topband: Long-delay Echos

[dick.bingham]

Greetings All

Back in the late '70s I experienced some long duration echoes on 80-meters SSB. I had been burning the candle at both ends DXing at my pre-sunrise and late after dark for a few days and was falling asleep at the "mic".

I found myself getting teed-off by someone CQing on the freq I was using only to discover it was ME - my speech was delayed sufficiently to hear several complete words at the end of each transmission. Too bad I was too tired to properly document this event.

This took place at a QTH 100-miles north of Frisco.
