Signals should be boosted at distances exceeding about 1000 kms giving a help to the lower powered stations. Up to the minute data can be had by comparing the levels shown in Brian's real-time plots of DCF39 and comparing them with the black line in my daily propagation report. As of Thursaday daytime conditions are around the average,but bu Sunday it is possible that the levels could be 6dB higher...... possibly even as much as 10dB. Night-time paths or over 3000kms will probably be further depressed.
