Not necessarily.  I suspect it will be more like the results I get with 
WWVB, MP at 137 kHz, and the Navy stations I check on sometimes in the 30 - 
80 kHz vicinity.  There's usually a fade around sunset, then the skywave 
path stabilizes and gives me nice strong signals until a corresponding fade 
around sunrise.  I've already seen signs of that effect on your signal some 
evenings in the earlier tests on 72.4.

Also, I don't know how good an indicator transatlantic propagation is going 
to be for skywave conditions to lower latitudes.  Path losses can vary 
widely in different directions.  It'll be interesting to see if there's any 
correlation at these frequencies.
