I don't have much of a 2 meter antenna other then a repeater antenna for doing local work. Although I have talked to Buffalo NY on it during a good opening on FM. SSB might be good for a try.

Tropo Ducting, and unless you antenna happened to be inside the duct, you would never know it was there.
I lucked out with one some years back 5W 2M FM Simplex Sydney Australia to Auckland New Zealand.

One night I caught an opening that really shocked me. I was on simplex and heard two guys. Got in on the conversation and finally one of the guys said a street he was on. They were in Warner Robbins, GA and me in Vero Beach, FL made for a nice tag. Meteor scatter is great!

I can talk to TENNESSEE, most mornings with my 7 element beam, with the amp on around 175 watts if the band is slightly up.
That is on 52 simplex.
I use to many years ago when I had a 13 element beam up<crashed>, get into HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA, and around JACKSONVILLE Florida 3 or 4 times a week, but that was on ssb into ALABAMA, and cw for FLORIDA, and that was with 75 watts.....
It is fun though when it is up with the temperature inversions.
