Topband: LDEs, witches and magicians

[Raoul Coetzee]

Dear Dr Ostwald,
 Even though I have not experienced any echoes on HF,I think I will keep an open mind.We cannot even explain a weak force like gravity completely, after many years of ongoing research.Who are we to say that  LDS  belong in  fairy tale?  :-)After all, we are receiving echoes of the big bang in the microwave background, so what is a few hours between friends on 160m ? :-)
Regards,Raoul ZS1C

hello reflectees,
i never ever experienced echoes on 160. And i do a lot of transmitting 
and have relatively sensitive rx systems.
Given the laws of field expansion and attenuation i consider it a hoax.
I have had round the globe echoes on 20m. But was using 6 el monobander 
with power and at the rite time, when we had greyline. Sometimes 2 to 
three rounds. That was physically explainable.
Anything else is from the land of Alice.
