Bob,
I heard the same thing on AO-85 recently. I would hear myself coming back from the satellite in real time (plus a slight delay for my SDR receiver & software), and then hear it again 2-3 seconds later. It seemed more like some station was retransmitting whatever it heard from AO-85, which happened to be my voice at that moment. I did not write down when this happened, but I have recordings of all AO-85 passes I worked, so I can go back and pinpoint when this happened. I might do this later tonight between some passes while staying up late, or tomorrow. If someone is really bored and looking for stuff to do, feel free to visit my Dropbox space at http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/ and take a listen to my recordings. :-)
73!

This is fun, Was it the late '60s ? LDE's ?(Long Delayed Echoes)
Used to be guys talking about them and a few articles in CQ I think.
Anyway, was just giving out my callsign and heard it about 3 seconds later on the passband.
I am taking a WAG gee and saying it's due to the digital processing up there?
Still, it's fun and funny. Or, wait. That spook-asteroid is passing by now. Asteroid-Bounce. Hmmm. she's farther out than the moon so 3 or 4 seconds might be right. mmmmm, just maybe ....
Can I QSL myself and have it count for some rare VUCC grid?
