I once had a very strong echo on 160. The delay was about 225 milliseconds - which equates to a distance of about 42K miles.
You can listen to it here. It is so strong that you won't believe that is really the echo. I send two dits and hear two dits come back. http://www.kkn.net/n6tr/sounds/echo.wav It appears this was from 1997 - I posted about it here: http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/1997-02/msg00136.html I remember hearing similar echos on my 75 meter signal during a California QSO Party when I was operating at K6NA's QTH back in 1987 or 1988.
