[TowerTalk] Lunar echo experiment

[Red Haines]

I appreciate seeing reports from others even though it may be considered 
OT.  My report:

I monitored both 6.7925 MHz and 7.4075 MHz January 19Z.

Location: N43.8033, W91.395.  Rural environment.

Antenna: trapped 20, 40, and 80 meter inverted vee, 35 feet at center.

Receiver: IC765 (not 756!), pre-amp turned on, CW mode, 250 Hz IF 
filter.  AGC was OFF.

I received both the skywave and the echo on both frequencies.  
Interfering noise was low on 6.7925 and moderate on 7.4075.

Skywave signal was near S-5 and echo was near S-0 on 6.7925.  Only 
moderate fading or other variation was observed.

Reception was similar on 7.4075, but I hesitate to report signal 
strength because it was somewhat masked by noise.  The signals were 
clearly audible and skywave was clearly stronger than the echos.
