Hal, AS little bit of digging in th NIST monograph of 1965 shows the change in carrier phase lag at 60 kHz varies abouit one cycle or 17 microseconds over the day and night. This is for a 2460 km path between Boulder and Ottawa where the ray angle incidence is rather small. Another reference shows the ionospheric reflection height varies 73-87 km over the day and night, which for vertical incidence results in about 47 microseconds variation. Make the ray propagation delay 3.3 microseconds per km.
