Since there are no sunspots to speak of at this time, the alternative is "E" skip.
Best time for e-skip is early evening. Sometimes in the morning too.
Its cause by thunderstorms which extend to high altitudes, which causes the E-layer to become ionized when the sun hits it just right.
The distance is not coast-to-coast, but instead about half that distance because the E-layer is not as high as the F-layer. F-layer only runs when there are sunspots.
Is it possible to be on a lake and have a homing directional beam being emitted from the shore so a person could navigate to that beam's source? For example at night to a jetty.
