[SOC] Strange phenomenon occurring ....

[NG7A]

Or just build W8JK's Helical antenna (he's the inventor) to really narrow things down.  Normally they re used to produce pencil beams in the microwave regions, but JK actually built one for 10 MHz.  The 15 M version should be twice as easy :)

I'm convinced that long delayed echoes are occurring today on 15 mtrs cw band segment. By the timeI'm responding to the signals I'm receiving, the operatorthat sent these signals are probably out having a pizza or watching a favorite tv show.  This must be driving the skimmer robots crazy.
