Copy was spotty on WEB here last night and my signal was spotty into W5jgv grabber. 

At 10AM locat time this morning nothing on WEB rec here(454 miles) yet WMS is solid into Ralphs Grabber(224 miles). CV is not visible on the grabber at this time, about same distance. I assume this is ground wave propagation and skywave is not present . Am I Correct in this assumption?

Doug Demaw suggested in an article that daytime would be best for local communication on the lowfer bands. I see lots of reports from the guys up north where MP an EAR are copied up to several hundred miles daytime. 

How do we accout for the loss of night time propagation the last few days? Noise? Solar activity?
