Thanks, Ray and Dave.
Daytime conditions are definitely improving on 32 meters into autumn and with higher solar ionisation. Often no noticeable daytime skip zone and varying and choppy coverage from Northern Spain to Finland around noon... notably short skip, when possible can often be very steady with little or very slow fading. I suspect conditions will improve further in the next few weeks, with possibly day time trans-Atlantic skip a possibility with low power. We shall see...
