VHF waves work "line of sight". They may be slightly curved around the horizon but

Well, not really. It all depends on antenna height. From the Jersey
shore, not only can I talk to the Cape May CG station, but also to
Baltimore and Chincoteague, Virginia. I have fairly reliable
communications with CG stations up to over 100 miles.

It must be a pretty reliable duct because I hear the Baltimore CG
station almost all the time from the Jersey Shore. It's faint of
course, but perfectly readable.

This sounds like the region of increased attenuation beyond the line
of sight between two stations. If you can pick out signal beneath
noise this extends range aways.
