That is a good monitoring distance.

Problem might be that at 14.670 MHz the ionosphere is still dense enough 
to support a signal through the night.

For me, at 25 MHz the ionosphere clears out at night at that frequency 
and there is no signal until a meteor makes an ionization trail that 
will bounce in the WWV 25 MHz transmitter.

At dawn, the ionosphere builds up and at 25 MHz I get a constant WWV 
signal which means meteors won't be recognizable.

If by chance the Sun is super quiet ( solar minimum ) you might have 
luck at 14.670 MHz in the middle of the night.

Again, experimentation is the way.
