On morning (probably about 1980) I was beamed west at setting moon looking for 
Asia on 2M.  I heard a station calling CQ and said to myself, that's Dave's 
(W5UN) frequency.  Sure enough, it was Dave calling CQ.  So I tuned off him and 
heard another station calling CQ.  I listened and was surprised to hear Dave 
again.  I tuned back to the other frequency and Dave was still there, albeit 
with a different delay.  It finally dawned on me I was hearing him off the back 
of the antenna on tropo and off the moon from the front side.  Doppler and the 
time delay made it sound like two different stations.

One of my friends up north was just getting on the air EME and he had a SUBSTANTIAL station and antenna and started calling, " Hello, hello"  and someone answered! he kept it up and then started to listen to the returned signal then he said, " I think I am talking to myself".   He recorded it and we all laughed at one on the early West Coast VHF conferences.  Those were the days my friends.....
