I just noticed very strange TA propagation on MF last night:
During a very short period (04:40 - 05:02) 3 US stations were copied in southern Germany, but nowhere else
in Europe:

The signals were partially very strong (up to -16dB) and the 3 EU stations are located close
together.
Also the distances are remarkable, up to 9367 km.
Based on WSPRNET data at least a dozen other stations were receiving WSPR
in Western Europe at that time, but not a single copy from them!
During the same time period one German station was copied in the US:

Further there was also some trans Pacific DX:
