You could try measuring with short bursts of RF (a few 100's of microseconds) and look at the received signal audio with a scope.
You should be able to resolve sufficiently in the time domain
to separate the ground wave signal from the sky wave signal.

This is where one of those $30 RTL-SDR receivers might come in handy.. It would be easy to see.

I've been running some tests on my 8 circle array with K1JB. Joe is 17 miles away and I sometimes notice deep fading on his signal. Makes plotting the antenna pattern very difficult. Is it possible to have skywave contamination
