well, you hear that all the time with DX signals if you can hear the short
path and the long path at the same time.
It sounds like they are in a hollow room, and when one of the paths fades,
the echo goes away.
I hear it most commonly with signals out of western and northern europe.
I have also heard it from the US most notably when listening to W6CCP.  I
was hearing his signal on short, and long path and the echo effect was well
beyond his normal roomy audio.
