Yes, a post of mine succumbed to the ether as well... Thanks MaJoC for the corrections. Your note to self is I believe related to the thin film formula (the ionosphere) stratified from the suns heat, breaking it into smaller layers to reflect, while at night the layers are larger. But wave media was my least favorite part of physics, do don't trust me too much, as evidenced by my misrememberings above ;) Funny enough, a coworker of mine was talking just recently about a neighbor of his in the 70s who had a powerful CB transmitter station -- it was so strong you could see when he cut it on on your TV if you used an OTA antenna!
