Reception variances with DYI kit in day/night

Been using the DYI kit with a Raspberry Pi 3 and the latest RxOS 3.1 image and included patch antenna for a bit over
a week. Mounted it all onto a board with legs.

It seems during the day I can get at least 3-4 dB for SNR and things work ok, shortly after dark, with no changes in the weather, not moving the whole rig at all, the SNR drops into an average of 1-2 Db and struggles to download anything.

Any ideas on what's causing this and what I can do to help? I wondered if a bigger antenna would help, I do have a clear line of site. Location is Peoria, IL btw.

New to all this so I'm learning as I go..

Thanks!
