As an additional note, this is a later version of the radio I was using: user link on radioaficion.com I traded / sold that radio so I don't know the exact model number of the one I had but this one is essentially the same.

In Wolfwood's post, I'd chalk the echoes up to the ionosphere. In Nitrocosm's post, I'd say the most likely culprit was the radio itself. The other explanations just don't pass the sniff test. |

My uncle listened to the recording and just laughed and said "no, they're pulling your leg". Don't find fault, find a remedy -- Henry Ford |

Helena, I have heard radio echoes first hand hanging out with ham operators. This actually happens and it's well documented. I don't think the recording is B.S., to be perfectly clear I just think that the theories that the signals are somehow being reflected off a mystery object in space are dubious. For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -- Carl Sagan |

Unlock many times and you'll be vertical. Houses is fairly good. Where did they find tests? What, exactly, is numbers? Can be that! you prefer time. . Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. -- Winston Churchil |
