The issue is likely because my dipole is oriented towards EU.. I need to 
lookup the bearing from SC and probably move the ends of my dipole (not 
easily done).

They are on. The Elecraft rigs sound great (of course, I’m a bit biased)… I 
worked them on 21285 SSB a short time ago. They are presently very readable 
here in Northern California.
Propagation conditions are much better today than yesterday with much lower 
QRN caused by solar conditions (geomagnetic storming).

Keep trying. They are weak but workable. The K6TU propagation charts 
accessible from the TX3X web site are definitely a help. Stu has done a 
great job with his propagation site, worth checking out.
