** CHINA. 15125, Dec 28 at 0023, CRI English, S9+20/30 direct with
pronounced long/short path echo, virtually equal levels. It`s 500 kW,
215 degrees from Beijing site, so directly off the back = 35 degrees
USward. Short-path distance is 10834 km. Taking trans-equatorial
Earthly circumference as 40050 km, i.e. long path would be 29216 km.
Minus SP 10834 = 18382 km longer. Divide by speed of radio as 299,792
km/sec, delay = 0.06 second, or roughly 1/16 of a second. Of course
distances are measured at ground level and ionospheric propagation
takes a little longer as it totals a little further, but ratios should
remain the same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7365, Dec 28 at 0051, dead air of S9+10, R. Martí
