[Elecraft] P3 Showing Transmit Signal

[Jack Brindle]

That would be from me… Amazingly, this was on 80 meters, and was heard all over the bay area up into central CA. At times the “echo” was louder than the direct signal!
There are at least two recordings from that event. Very strange, and extremely interesting. While it was ongoing, both 40 and 80 were open across NA. When it stopped,
40 collapsed to the point where the only signal heard was VY1AAA, and 80 became only local. In 40+ years of hamming, this is the first time I have experienced anything like that.
I have to say, it was also very cool to experience.

73,
Jack, W6FB

He verified by listening to another nearby station that the echo was 1/7 second later, the time for a radio signal to go around the world. The K3's full break in allowed him to hear himself between the morse code units.
