There's a "max distance in pure daylight" Stew Perry award at least some
years?
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
broad daylight on 160 are using decent antenna systems, NOT using crappy
NVIS antennas.
