Hi Ray - I am sorry that I did not correct the hints in the title right away.
See here - you probably have a hole in the near propagation of Eu.

For me, the location with NL still looks, too loud. The US can hear you quieter.
This announcer speaks in American style, but there are inserts of old retro radio recordings.
I don't think it would be broadcast from the USA. I understand what you wanted to say - "behaves like a signal from the USA".
 I have the same problem with LHH 6205. My Sky Loop probably has a high reception angle, which is good for the central EU, and goes badly from Ireland.

Thinking it's today 14 of november ?
Quite a strange behaviour since Monday the 12th.
Today Wednesday 14th again no early signal here.
1827 no signal, 2022 no signal
2226 extra-weak short peak, some music,
then a few other 'peaks' of the same ultra weak shop
2315 seems to fade in at last
2316 at last some typical music, very weak but no doubt it's Charleston R. Int

With what I hear (here in W. France), I could think that the TX has been moved to America, hum, maybe to Argentina, because I have heard WBCQ early on 5130 (so it's not a break of my Rx or antennas...). Nothing strange to get a weak signal at such a late time,  the strange thing is that I get nothing earlier, and it seems that not everybody is suffering that ?

2325 still very weak, with T-storm crash every few seconds, waiting for an ID.
2338 "Lili Marlene" (that song was written during the first world war)
2350 now some not ridiculous peaks, but very short. (mean signal fading up)

Ray! It had good signal here in Albania near Durres!
On my Tecsun PL660 + 7m longwire hooked to my window and a tree!

Thanks for the link. I just went on this site on Thursday morning, and could look to the forecast on 40m for tonight : the skip zone will  extend only late tonight. Didn't find a way to get the maps for yesterday.
You understood well, I never thought that the Charleston TX could be in America.
So what about propagation ?
-maybe the opening of the skip zone can be not always clean and  regular, but some days in several holes that join together on the following hour (so the signals may vanish differently at places not so far away one from the other)
- there's a secondary propagation mode later at night, but much weaker (I often hear that for LHH)

If we go further about this, I shall move it to the Propagation forum...
