Like Mike said, "Skips up!"
You can study the propagation predictions or simply turn the radio on and see what's out there.

My guess using bigger power supply does not effecting just reception ... Note (to keep an eye) the last 2 weeks every evening from about 13:00 & later UK time, i can hear at EU40 band AM mode some blocks at 6, 11, 28 Virginia, Florida, Carolina almost every evening...apart them, some days appearing weaker at ch10, 12, 15, 16, 24, 29, 31 all AM mode I guess is the area because one example, while i can heard ch6 saying are many stations from EU calling, to my location (Corfu) only can hear USA, & very few from England, Wales, Ireland calling USA and thats it

Solar Flux Index is well over 200. Anything above mid 150s gives good DX for 11m.
