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.

On the thought of a low dipole:
Years ago in Northern California, as an experiment, I had a VERY low
dipole and got some strange results. Listening to a local station, in
the afternoon, there was very deep QSB. We were able to talk, but with
difficulty.

Were you cross polarized; IE was the other station running a vertical?
If so, minor fluctuations in propagation could result in major
fluctations of polarization cancellation.
