> 40 meters should be available all day long, unlike 20 which DOES close
down due to props.   It just that 40 meters isnt a very long band for
daytime use, and if you live outside a heavily populated area (say 500 to
600 miles, you wont hear much in the daytime.  Over the decades I have been
on the air (almost 4) I have never seen 40 completely dead, but pretty
sparce pickins midday in places like ET3 SV0 and even YV5.  Here in
Virginia, I usually find a few in the daytime.  Well, I have never seen it
dead, unless there is a SID (sudden ionaspheric disturbance) on, and then
all the bands can be so dead that you think your antennas are gone. Luckly
that doesnt happen often.
