At the risk of sounding really stupid and having never had an
antenna that I could point for 40 M (those days changing soon), I will risk
stating that perhaps the 40 meter signals you seek are coming long path.
Many, many years ago, I was trying to work EP2AF from Hawaii (20 M).
My, then, XYL was very stressed when I came home after work and spent
hours trying to figure how to slip in between all the CA stations. Never
heard the fellow over 3 months of trying!! One evening, I turned the
cheapo beam around and Lo and behold, EP2AF called me long path!!
Worked every WAZ station in that area in the next half hour.
Best of luck, Warren; W5KKW
