If you don't have adjacent channel interference, the
clear-channel stations in the 1500s start putting up significant skywave
signals two hours or more before sunset. Last summer, I was getting WQEW
very loud on skywave in central Vermont (with no adjacent-channel stations
around) starting around two hours before sunset and could hear a significant
skywave three hours before sunset. <clippage>

around 1957-58, probably during the winter, I discovered a pretty good
signal from WPTR 1540 in the late afternoon from Bedford, Mass.  I suppose
that explains why I got it.

My non-DX type (lovely nonetheless) wife caught 1130 WBBR NYC in Downtown
Jacksonville, FL about 2pm while fishing for 1100 WCGA (10kw nda) Woodbine,
GA. It put a major hurting on the usual 1130 we get here during the day,
WFXH Hilton Head Island, SC (1kw) ("Fox Sportsradio 1130").
