You must not be familiar with multipath interference. Radio isn't quite as synchronous as you believe it to be.

And for astronomy, the changing atmosphere might be the most important secondary reflection. And the multipath arrangement between emitter and observer is different for each pair. Could you make a dark period long enough to mask the multipath variance among emitters and observers? Or would this dark period be so long as to cause annoying flicker?
