I decided to try an evening of Navtex tonight because of the good 
reception reports over the last couple days. To my surprise, between the 
navtex transmissions, I have a clear copy of beacon "FN" on 517 Khz. 
located at Hillz - Clinton IA. That's around 250-300 miles from me.

A short mp3 audio capture can be found here;

Radio = Kenwood TS-480 - Antenna 5 band trap vertical (80 - 10)

So far Navtex has included my normal area 4 stations and area 12 
Astoria, OR at 03:40 utc.
