I ran across this file on my computer. It is just a small
piece of a longer one recorded by Frank, K7DS, sometime in 
1977. The recording is of some local to Seattle area hams 
experiencing LDEs (long delayed echos). Voices heard on the 
recording are those of K7DS, Johnny, my brother, WA7OTT 
(most recently KE7V (sk)), and Danny, K7JCA (now K7SS). 
Another participant in this activity was Hal Gullstad, 
W7AAK (sk), the FCC engineer who administered the ham 
license exams at the Old Federal Office Building in Seattle. 
The activity was on the 75m band at night.

Unfortunately, the original casette recording was misplaced
by a family member and its present location is not known. But 
what can be heard on this .wav file is enough to get the feel 
for what went on.

It's not very long. You can listen to it before turning the 
rig on.
