Tuned in to 6792.5 at 0630Z 1/20/08 for the HAARP test and about fell out of my chair when I heard the lunar echo on the first pulse! The pulses from Alaska were about S-6.5, and the best echoes were up to S-3. I was getting an echo once out of 10 pulses, then 1 of 20, then 1 of 50, and finally no further echoes for the last 20 minutes. At 0730Z I switched to 7407.5, and this was even better, with an echo for every pulse except for an occasional drop-out. WAY COOL!! Now this is what I call the looooong path - half a million miles, more or less. I don't send many reports these days, but I will report this one. Many thanks to those giving us a heads-up on this. By the way, I don't consider this to be off-topic at all, even if it is SW -- DX is DX.
