[time-nuts] ES100 suddenly more sensitive in summer!

Interestingly enough, compared to my initial testing last winter, my ES100
is suddenly much more likely to acquire and track WWVB in broad daylight.
This morning it is acquiring from a cold start almost every time.

(The "bad minutes" of course still don't work).

Most likely reason would be some reduction in my local noise sources but
wonder if something more propagation-wise is going on.

For sure I expected 60kHz propagation from Colorado to Maryland to be more
reliable in common darkness and in winter, and less reliable in summertime
and common daylight, but perhaps this is a faulty mental model I have.
