During both the ARRL 160 or the CQWW 160 CW contests from C6AGU (FL14tv, a
very quiet location) about 250 miles east of FL, I hear and work stations
during the day well into the continental US: sometimes as far as 1200 miles
away (W2). Most of the contact take place before 11 AM local time, but
Sorry, the second QSO was at 1726z not 1717z.

There was indeed a plaque for the longest distance - within an hour of high
noon.
I believe it was a QSO between Oregon and Arizona - a pretty good distance.

At start of a 160M contest (5PM local time, shortly before my sunset) I
have no problem making QSO's into Indiana and Illinois (600-700 miles).
I would be reluctant to call this NVIS. The stations doing 500+ miles in
true enough. i have heard K0RF at high noon, here in north east texas 73, w5xz

A few years back guys on this forum decided to see what could be worked
at noon time. There were a few stations on at that time and I worked
stations up to 600 miles. That will vary with band conditions. It
doesn't work well if there are no stations on the band.
