I have just looked at Geoclock and full ground-level darkness is only at about 2145 BST around Preston. The skywave signal will not lose all the D-layer attenuation until the altitude up to about 100km is dark this takes another hour approximately. I notice Gary is a lot stronger now at 2130BST. Interesting stuff ....especially when it works !!
