Some Notes about LDE from G- QRP-C Forum

Subject: [GQRP] Long delay echos

Mailing list: <GQRP.yahoogroups.com>

Just seen the link to the long delay echos

from Peter Brogl, DK6NP on the

Southgate Amateur radio website:

http://www.southgatearc.org/news/december2010/long_delay_echoes.htm

I've not yet seen anything about the power

he used or details showing if

the echoes spaces were EXACTLY the

same on each transmission. A

detailed comparison between the

transmitter and echo keying envelops

may confirm that they really came from

DK6NP's transmitter and not some

elaborate hoax. If genuine, surely this is a

remarkable and tangible

example of this very odd (and rare?)

phenomenon.

Ian, G4JQT

At the peak of recent sunspot cycles it was

not that unusual to hear

echoes on 10m from signals that had gone

around the globe both ways

even several times. One could certainly

envisage occasions when signals

get trapped between some ionospheric

layers and eventually "escape"

back to earth - like a very extended chordal

hop.
