Most of the 12 networks I listed have sufficient signal strength in that zone for you to be able to register on them. I didn't try all of them and it was some time ago so I don't remember exactly which one worked and which one not.
The echo effect you reported is also common to me (I can detect French networks from above Genova, being Corse in front of me on the other side of Ligure sea, just beyond the horizon), but maybe we're going off-topic: this effect does not affect roaming as you're unable to register on that networks due to time delay because of distance >GSM limit.
Back on topic, I really suspect Vodafone passport was a move to prevent some fine from the European Commission and not to make customers happy.
In fact, seems it will not be extended beyond end of June, or an I wrong?
