You mean in a coaxial cable in a loop? It would be very fun... more  points
if you use a directional coupler to put the pulse in the loop.  Anyhow I
doubt it would settle to 1 :)

I was thinking of an amplifier in there someplace so the pulse wouldn't decay
simply due to the cable loss.

This is the description of how a delay line oscillator works.
While it is similar to a ring oscillator, there are certain things
that do not work exactly the same way. Rubiolas book[1, chapter 5]
contains a nice description of delay line oscillators and their
performance.
