Thanks. Sounds from your description that the interval was very short, so it was not what has been called a "long-delayed" echo.

For sure, its presence was annoying, not hearing the expected noise in between the dit and dah's at 20wpm... BTW: I ruled out the TRX given the infrequent echoes and the noted difference in signal strength on the Beverages...

They lasted for at least 1 hour, with some OFF-periods in between. I had to quit at 06 UTC. (still 1 hour before surise) The echoes were loudest on the short Beverages (<60m long) heading N/S and NE/SW and several dB lower on the NW/SE Beverage. (about 130m long). The Tx setup is modest with Elecraft K3/100 and inv L at 15m height, sloping down to 11m. Only DX heard that morning was USA (typical condictions) so I wonder what else does hearing echoes indicate? 73, Michel, ON7EH _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband Topband Archives - Contesting Online Home<http://www.contesting.com/_topband> www.contesting.com Topband Mailing List Archives.
