Thanks guys.

All of these ideas make sense. It appears that I am just too *close* to this
station to get decent nighttime reception --- just the opposite of the
normal situation. There seems to be a relatively small band of distances
within the xmitter's night pattern where the ground and sky signals
alternately cancel and re-enforce each other on a random basis after local
sunset.

Thanks,

Hi Dave,

Try a loop antenna turned/layed-over to reject the interfering
sky/direct signal. Perhaps not a sure bet, but maybe 50-50.
