it's just where I am, but I'm only pulling in the religious people in

Is this some sun/atmospheric thing? Anyone care to explain something to
me?

Several international services shut down or reduced their airtime, so
the situation has changed over the years, but there is still lots of
activity.

When I can't sleep (around 01:00 … 04:00 GMT) I can hear, for example:
Radio Havana, RNW (from Bonaire, Spanish service) and RCI (Spanish
service) frequently on 49m, Location Netherlands, Europe. Antenna: 5m
outdoor wire, urban environment (no high rises). So the sun isn't that
bad.

In my location the mayor problem is dealing with interference from
switch mode power supplies, lighting, etc.

This morning (from 01:00 GMT, 18 Jan. 11) RNW (Bonaire) had a good
signal in the Netherlands.
