For what it is worth, I am about 60 miles northwest of N3QE, who reports
hearing the signal about the same strength day and night. I am hearing
it S9 at night but right at my S5 noise level daytime, which suggests,
to me at least, that it's a lot closer to him than me, and that I'm
maybe right at the outer edge of ground wave. I'm using a TX vertical -
no RX antennas deployed yet.
