Hi Dick,

Wow, that must have been multiple trips around the earth (a rare event indeed) since each trip takes on average about 145 ms.
My only experiences have been working EU stations where the echo makes it sound like they're using a reverb unit.

Greetings everyone
 
My experience with 'echo' events goes back to about 1978 +/- while
DXing on 75M .
Conditions had been great for several nights, I was sleep deprived -
fuzzy-headed - and realized
the station 'answering' my SSB CQ after several call sequences was ME.
 
I could hear my entire call at the end of the previous transmission. This
was from at QTH in
Northern CA on a hilltop overlooking the ocean about 10-miles to the West.
The antenna was
a vertical (insulated-base tower working against a well installed radial
system) and ~1KW.
 
Have not experienced this effect again over the years.
