FM DX Question

S

SmashTim

I know DX occurs because of athomspheric conditions & tends to occur the most in late spring & summer, especially when its warm & humid. I have noticed DX much more at night ( from about 9 or so till dawn) than I do during the afternoon (although I have caught DX on quite a few occasions then as well). Is their any reason why DX is stronger/ occurs more often at night or is it just coicidnece??
 
I believe the sun // heat has a lot to do with it, I'm not sure about moister in the air.

I've noticed that I get much better range with the outdoor antenna in the really early morning between sunrise and the evaporation of the dew.

Chattanooga's WUSY 100.7 and WSKZ 105.7, Meridian's Q-101 (forget the calls), Rome, GA's WNSY 100.1 and WOOF-FM and the NPR affiliate from Dothan only come in for me here in NE Alabama during that time.

The big Montgomery (WLWI, WALX, WHHY, WMXS, WZHT) and Columbus/Lagrange/Auburn (WJSP, WSTH, WVFJ) stations are at least noticeable 24/7, but only listenable then.

In the middle of the night, reception is the same as at midday.
