[WriteLog] Long Path

[llindblom at juno.com]

My strange event of this nature happpened during an SSB contest. For a period of 10 minures late in the afteroon while on 15 Meters I'd hear the tail end of my CQ when I'd let off the mic.  Either it was some type of LDE or I'd gone too many hours without sleep!

Somehow, I think from Jim's description that the signals were not
"long delay echos", but rather different path's, based on the delay
described. I've only heard a lda twice in my ham life, and believe me,
you could copy it without any trouble. Short skip on 10 with a ham in
SC if I remember correctly. Hearing that last dit of my call clearing
about 1/4 second after transmit ended was spooky.

Based on last weekend's activity, I would bet one was direct and the
other an equatorial.
