At our January meeting we recognized FARA’s 2012 board members to include Andy K1RA (president), Tom KG3V (vice president), Greg KI4ZKJ (treasurer) and Harv K2PI (secretary). The activities manager position is currently vacant and we are looking for volunteers.
Also at the January meeting Harv K2PI presented information regarding Long Delayed Echoes or LDE’s a phenomena that causes radio signals to be returned to the sender after delays of more than 2 seconds. Harv discussed and presented slides covering definitions, history and audio which demonstrated the more common short/normal echoes one here due to backscatter, or EME as well as some documented LDE’s. His presentation sparked interest and comments from the entire club, both in trying to explain and detect the events as well as presenting their own first hand experiences with such strange radio events.
