Define MF; there is no exact frequency where skywave ceases to exist, but
it has not been observed below 500 kHz. That does not mean that under
some extreme ionospheric conditions is can not happen, it means no one
has ever seen it happen.


Ummmmmmmmm.....

BBC Radio 4 on 198kHz is receivable (weakly) in Malta (900 miles?).
It's definitely stronger at night. Why is that?


'Cos they increase power at night?


They don't (certainly not that I'm aware).
