More likely it was a mix of groundwave and sky wave, if the station was
local, cancelling or reinforcing signal as phase shifted on the sky wave
path.

Hi Ed - I have done the same thing on 80/75 meters with great results
using a tree and a sling shot to get the wire up. Used chicken wire for
the ground system.
Did this the first time from an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona in the
late 90's using a 45 foot tree and put a 8ft x4ft pieced of chi
Jorge,
I have a 160m antenna asymmetrical antenna, fed against ground, that goes
from one corner of my 120 ft by 120 ft lot to the opposite corner. It is
held up by a single pole, about 55 ft tall. The pole is closer to the fed
end. The wire going up to the pole makes about a 65 degree ang

That would be a pretty low dipole on 160M, and verticals tend to be far
more effective on 160M than low dipoles.
