Some bands I hear do have better skip at night. My opinion is that skip is best in the daytime and late evening for 11 meters. |

I've been wondering about this myself. I just received my tech license, and really like "hunting" for skip, so I bought a shortwave with continuous 10kHz-30mHz. I just got it 2 days ago, and I need to set up a better antenna situation, so I'm not to sure how night skip is yet. |

Lately, the late night and well after midnite DX conditions have been above par. But for the most has been dead doing the day time hours on 11 meters. |

Hang a longwire and hook to it and run a wire from the ground screw on the unit. It should bring in the world.
