An unusual type of radar echo was noticed on the of PPI scope of a 3 cm meteorological radar at Dum Dam airport on 3 April 1957 after the passage of a nor'wester squall. It has been shown that conditions were favourable for the formation of radio duct at that time and this echo was probably due to existence of this duct.
